My home network is Virginmedia 150 mbps and there's an ethernet link straight to the next room with the tellybox. So, I take the cable from a gigabit hub and stick it in my laptop. Ookla tells me I'm getting 155 to 165 mbps (which is nice). I take the exact same cable, unlug it from my laptop and stick it in the telly's ethernet socket, fire up the TV browser and check Ookla again. This time it reckons 25 to 55 mbps. Do they really put a shitty ethernet card in an expensive Smart TV or is there some other reason? never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead |
