Hello.

Soon we will have Altice XGS-PON techology up to 8Gbps in Portugal, Europe.

At a business place we have 1000/200 Mbps and will upgrade to 2 Gbps.

We have Fiber Optics in our house with 500 Mbps and are very happy with the price and everything.

DSLReports still have two servers for speedtest and bufferbloat.

The PING is 80ms in Switzerland and 204 in Japan.

I remember the important internet review:
»www.pcmag.com/article/35 ··· -of-2017

We missed DSLReports speedtest, the world best Bufferbloat Test (RIP).

Unfortunately the beginners can only find a few servers.

I have started to use WAVEFORM bufferbloat test.

Now we prefer Routers Technology made in Portugal at ALTICE Labs, (Fiber Gateway Wi-Fi. AC, AX) and China: Huwaei, Xiaomi, TP Link AX3000.

Cisco, Asus and Netgear and others brands are also great.

In Portugal I have chosen Altice Service Provider in 2015 and now only pay low price.

I chose Altice Fiber Optics 100 Mbps in my area.

The package is similar to Altice One.

I also like the Price/Specifications of the Netgear GS 108E and TP link switches SG 105E to optimize Internet Service Provider and distribution.
My first contrat in 2015 with Internet speed 60/6Mbps | TV | Phone and waited 15 days for he instalation.
The internet speed was 60/6 Mbps on ookla speedtest.

I am happy with the speed of the new contract “100Mbps”

Location: 39° 27′ 19″ N, 31° 7′ 53″ W.
Fiber Internet: 200/100Mbps | Channels: 200 | Phone.
Router: Thomson/Technicolor TG784n v3 Mfg. Date: 2013 (obsolete) Not recommended for gamers online.
TV Box HD with DVR: Cisco ISB 2231, Mfg. Date: 2013.
The router is outdated and we cannot adjust the QoS settings. I have own router similar to the ASUS RT AC68U to replace the company router.

Update: December 15, 2018

The Company Router Thomson/Technicolor TG784n v3 with build in two ceramic antennas is plug on for 24/7 x 4 years.
The 35 000 hours router might need firmware update.

Last year in my house the DSLRreports Bufferbloat test only worked properly with IPv4 I had to disabled IPv6 on my PC.
I cannot give 5 stars review due to the following:
PRE SALES INFORMATION - Sounds like music - 4.5 stars.
INSTALL CO-ORDINATION - Not enough technicians for the demand and sometimes they have to reschedule - 4.5 stars.
CONNECTION RELIABILITY - Rarely connection failure – 4.5 stars.
TECH SUPPORT - The first line responders don`t have the best answers, sounds mechanical, they think every client is stupid. In four years I only called two times and have to call back for better support.
SERVICES - The bundle (TV+INT+Telephone+ W/or WO Cell-Smart Phone) for consumers - 4.5 stars.
Business SERVICES - At much higher cost and in a scale of 1 to 10, I would not give more than 9 stars.

My Triple Play Bundle, now have Internet Speed of 200Mbps

The worst experience was when the ISP removed the price discounts after 24 month in the first contract without warning.
I called the company and they agreed to charge me the same price as the new customers.

One of my family members like to play games online with his friends, he chose the Triple Play Package with 200Mbps during Black Friday deal in 2017 and introduced the TP link switch SG 105E for internet bandwidth control and distribution in the apartment. I don`t play games but I am happy for his good bufferbloat and performance here on the famous DSLReports:

Altice have the lowest package prices in Portugal.

Many places in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have fibre optics.

In Portugal, Altice want to install fibre optics in all villages. I believe it´s a mistake to install cable in remote areas because the new 5G technology with access point wireless to home cable is less expensive and can deliver internet speeds over 1 Gigabit.
I predict that most companies will deliver new wireless services using the 5G technology. I hope they don`t use 60GHz because will be a disaster for humans and animals, 60 GHz interferes with the oxygen molecules in our bodies, worse than Wi-Fi at 2.4 GHz the same frequency as microwave ovens use and interferes with water molecules.
My Cell Phone works on 700, 800, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600 Mhz. In Portugal the spectrum of 450 Mhz, 3.6 and 26 GHz might be added to the 5G.
The package with Internet speeds of 300-400 Mbps might be recommended in 2019/2020.
I found a nice speed review:
