If you’re using WiFi, this can significantly impact on your experience.
We recommend that if you want to connect to services over 100Mbps, your computer specifications meet or exceed the performance of an Intel i5 6th Generation CPU and have a Gigabit Ethernet NIC (wired) or 802.11ac support (wireless). If you are targeting true ultra fast broadband (>100Mbps), older computers may struggle. If you choose to use your own router or modem, you’ll need to ensure it is suitable for the level of performance required, so do your homework. At Vorco, we test these to ensure they’re capable of delivering the bandwidth that you’ve signed up for. We strongly advise customers to use the router or modem provided with your service (if one was provided). Run regularly with ‘all things being equal’ and you will build up a good results history. If you’re testing MAX/gigabit fibre then even Google Chrome can’t keep up. We have observed poor results in Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari due to limitations in their Javascript engines.
We also suggest you use Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome version 55 or above, or the native app in the Windows Store.
