So, where is the 500 Mbps internet connection?

Well, just measured my internet download speed, and the thing is around 20 Mbps / sec, instead of the 500 Mbps “promissed”. Well, I imagined that this would happens after a few months (the decrease in speed after the initial “wow”). Seems to me that this is a common practice worldwide in “cheap and inferior” internet providers, just a big lie. They rely on the notion that just few customers will botter with the lie they tell because few people perceive that.

I know this is not a problem that anyone can solve, so I’m just adding a complaint here so people can find this and think about other options before fall in the NOS trap.

    @Cleverson Carlos Matiolli Good night, the cable speed test. Do it here: https://www.nos.pt/particulares/internet/internet-fixa/Paginas/teste-de-velocidades_App.aspx  To be sure that there is no unconfiguration on the Router other than rebooting, you should also RESET to have the Router reset to its original settings.

    Welcome to Fórum NOS @Cleverson Carlos Matiolli

    Hi @fabio984, @Guimas and @Jose Rodrigues

    @Cleverson Carlos Matiolli, please disconnect your Router, wait 5 seconds and reconnect please. As soon as your Router light stabilizes in blue, we ask that you make a new speed test, please. We look forward to your feedback.

    Thank you.
