Broadband Checker

Broadband speed is measured in Megabits per Second (Mbps). Daisy always aim to get the best broadband speeds possible – use the broadband checker to see.

From time to time you may experience slow broadband speeds. This can be caused by a number of internal and external factors:

• The length of the line from the exchange or from the Primary Connection Point (PCP) can cause some speeds to be slower than others
• Not being connected directly to the master socket on the premises
• Correct filters needing to be used on all sockets relating to the broadband line
• A fault on the broadband line
• A faulty router is being used
• Connecting via WiFi rather than Ethernet
• Number of people sharing the bandwidth internally
• One-off, high-usage events such as Microsoft/Apple updates – a large number of people connecting at one time
• Electrical interference from other devices in proximity to the connection
• Peak time congestion – may experience slower speeds during the evening when more people are connected
• The processing speed of your device, router or modem
• The quality of the wiring inside your premises
• Weather conditions

SoGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) is a broadband solution that delivers fibre internet without requiring a traditional landline. Unlike older broadband connections that rely on a phone line, SoGEA streamlines the installation process and reduces costs by removing the phone line dependency. It provides the same performance as Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) broadband but is more future-proof, aligning with the UK’s transition away from copper-based networks. SoGEA is an ideal choice for businesses and households that no longer use landline telephony, offering simplicity and reliability for modern connectivity needs.

Full Fibre Broadband, also known as Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP), delivers internet via fibre optic cables all the way from the provider to your property, eliminating the need for copper wiring. This provides a faster, more reliable connection capable of speeds up to 1 Gbps or more, making it perfect for high-bandwidth activities like 4K streaming, cloud computing, and video conferencing. Full fibre is less prone to interference or speed loss over distance, ensuring consistent performance, and is increasingly being rolled out across the UK as part of a national infrastructure upgrade.

Superfast Broadband is typically delivered using Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) technology, where fibre optic cables run to a nearby street cabinet, and the connection to your property is completed with copper wires. Offering download speeds of 30–80 Mbps, it is suitable for everyday internet use like streaming, browsing, and online gaming.

Ultrafast Broadband refers to connections with speeds exceeding 100 Mbps, often delivered via FTTP or enhanced FTTC technologies like G.fast. Ultrafast broadband is ideal for homes and businesses with multiple users or devices, supporting seamless 4K streaming, large file transfers, and high-performance applications.

Yes you do but it’s nothing to worry about. With all our business broadband products, we’ll provide you with a free router and a static IP address.
