Guaranteed Internet speed from BRIZ: why it is important for every user

Introduction: Expected speed vs real internet speed

How many times have you been promised Internet speeds of up to 100 Mbps, but in reality it's not like that at all, especially during peak hours? BRIZ solves this problem with guaranteed internet speed - a reliable connection that always remains stable when you need it most.

Today we will tell you what guaranteed speed is and what “speed up to” is, how to measure it correctly, and what it depends on. We will also explain why choosing a BRIZ provider means always getting a good result and using the Internet on full power!

Guaranteed Internet speed: what does it mean?

Guaranteed Internet speed is the level of speed set by the provider that it promises to ensure to all its customers. This means that at any time, especially during peak hours (in the evenings or on weekends), the provider will provide subscribers with the real speed of downloading and uploading data according to their tariff plan. This is a real salvation for people who are engaged in video-making, streaming, playing games, or working from home.

But it's important to understand that there is a difference between cable speeds (i.e. signal levels to your optical terminal or cable speed from your router to other devices) and what you get over Wi-Fi. A wireless connection is not as reliable as you might think, due to environmental influences, interference, or simple network congestion. Connecting the most important devices with a cable will increase your speed, as the data will be provided directly.

For example, thick walls or ceilings will significantly reduce your signal, and if your router is located in some enclosed space or at a great distance from you, then such a signal simply cannot even reach or will be weak, and as a result, you will receive low speed. You should also take into account the number of connected devices, choose the right tariff plan and router.

No guaranteed provider performance will help if you have obvious interference in your local network.

"Speed up to": why it is not the same as stability

You often hear the term “up to” speed, but it can be much lower. That is, the Internet “up to 100 Mbps” will not guarantee that you will always have this real speed. This is only the maximum that can be achieved if the load on the provider's equipment is minimal and the conditions are ideal.

Often, some providers use a trick to promise this speed “up to”, although in reality they are working on outdated or unoptimized equipment. When many subscribers are connected to the network and they all start actively using the Internet, especially during peak hours, problems with low speeds appear. 

Why you should choose BRIZ: guaranteed speed for every customer

Unlike many others that promise high speeds “up to” a certain level, BRIZ guarantees real Internet speeds. Using XG-PON technology, users get the speed that fully corresponds to their tariff plan. This means that it will be symmetrical, consistent, and stable, which is important for work, study, and fast data exchange.

For those connected by GPON technology, BRIZ also provides high connection reliability. Most gigabit tariffs are symmetrical, but at 1 GIG you get 940 Mbps for download and 500 Mbps for upload. This feature is due to technical limitations, because the network bandwidth is divided evenly among all customers.

Most other providers can't even promise the real speed and often offer asymmetrical speeds, even on many gigabit tariffs. For example, with a “speed of up to” 250 Mbps, it may not be asymmetrical, and you may only get a “speed of up to 100 Mbps” for downloading.

BRIZ stands out in the Internet services segment due to its focus on quality. We use modern equipment and connection technologies that not only meet the highest standards, but also allow our subscribers to receive their guaranteed speed regardless of the season, time, day or network load. 

We prioritize reliability and honesty, so we promise not “up to” speeds, but real speeds for all your important tasks. 

How to check your internet speed and make sure it's stable

You can always check whether your internet speed matches the declared megabits, but it's important to do it correctly. The process is pretty simple, just follow the link to our website, but there are a few things to consider before you do it:

• Use a wired connection: connect your PC/laptop directly to the router by cable, do a speed test. If you have any doubts, you can check by connecting directly (without the router), or replace the cable with another one.
• Close all third-party applications: disable VPN, torrents, or other downloads. If other devices are actively using the Internet during the testing, this may affect the results.
• Choosing a server for speed testing: do not choose foreign servers, because the farther the server is located, the more time it will take to send and receive data.

We also recommend that you read our previous articles about the causes of bad internet.

If the Internet speed remains less than the stated one

One of the most common reasons is that most subscribers want to increase the speed and choose a gigabit tariff plan right away, but do not pay attention to their router. If it's a budget or outdated router, it may not be designed for gigabit Internet, and therefore you won't be able to get the full power of the tariff plan.

The quality of cables and connectors is important. The speed of the Internet directly depends not only on how the signal is transmitted to the router, but also on how it is distributed to other devices. If you are using damaged cables, twists, couplers, or improperly assembled internet sockets, this can significantly affect your connection and keep your speeds slow.

If you are sure that you are okay with this and choose, for example, a 500 Mbps or 1 GIG tariff, it is important to remember that your hardware may not be able to handle such high speeds. Many computers or laptops have restrictions on Wi-Fi connections, and sometimes even a network card won't be able to cope with such speeds over a cable.

Not satisfied with the result? Checking on different devices and connecting via cable does not help? You should contact our technical specialists for a detailed check. We will be able to analyze your connection, identify possible obstacles and offer solutions to increase your speed right now.
