Kif nista’ niċċekkja l-veloċità ta’ l-internet tiegħi?
Tista’ tiċċekkja l-veloċità tal-internet tiegħek billi tagħmel speed test. Huwa importanti li t-test isir meta l-kompjuter / laptop ikun imqabbad direttament b’cable mal-modem tagħna u għall-aħjar riżultat, kun żgur li l-ebda apparat ieħor ma’ jkun qed juża l-internet fl-istess ħin.

Tista’ wkoll tiċċekkja l-veloċità li qed tirċievi sal-modem tal-internet tiegħek billi ssegwi l-passi hawn taħt:

  1. Iftaħ browser tal-internet
  2. Fil-kaxxa tal-URL ikteb 192.168.1.254
  3. Agħfas fuq ‘broadband connection’ (fuq ix-xellug)
  4. Agħżel ‘DSL connection’
  5. Iċċekkja l-bandwidth upload u download speed – dik hija l-veloċità li qed tirċievi sal-modem tiegħek
How is fibre internet installed?

A technician will visit your home to replace the old copper wiring with the new fibre wiring. In order for this replacement to take place, you will need to have access to your roof and be able to supply an extra power socket for the new equipment.

How long will it take to be connected to fibre internet?

Firstly, we must confirm whether fibre internet connectivity is available in your locality. To do so, simply add your postcode here.

  • If fibre is available in your area, you will be provided with speeds of 100, 500 or 1GB Mbps.
  • If the speed available in your area is 75Mbps, this means that fibre will be available in your area soon.

However, if your household needs call for faster internet speeds, we’re happy to help. Get in touch with us to see what we can do.

Do I need new equipment for fibre internet?

You may need new equipment to be able to connect to fibre internet. We will provide you with everything that’s needed so that you can enjoy superfast and seamless internet.

Is fibre internet and 5G the same thing?

While the two are different technologies, they support each other. For instance, fibre internet is a wired connection with speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional broadband, which means that a fibre connection can easily handle all of your online needs.

5G  is the latest evolution of cellular networks that power mobile devices and the successor to 4G LTE. Compared to 4G LTE, 5G has much faster download and upload speeds—up to 20 times faster than LTE at its theoretical maximum.
