On April 14, a netizen of a communication person's home said that Jiangsu Telecom launched a new broadband terminal upgrade package, which includes a broadband optical fiber terminal that supports 2.5G LAN interface and WiFi6 + on-site service once + one year maintenance, and the cost is 612 yuan / month.
According to reports, the upgrade package is limited to some cities 1000M, 2000M broadband users to handle, the following comment area of some netizens said that Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi and other cities can be upgraded. In addition, upgrading the broadband terminal will not change the port rate of the wired broadband, but it can solve the problem of single-port Internet experience for some 1000M and 2000M users.
The upgraded terminal will support single-port 1000M and 2000M, and the terminal device brand will be randomly issued, and the user-specified brand will not be accepted. Let's not talk about which brand of terminal, but support single-port Gigabit and WiFi6 has a lot of competitiveness. The router supported by the previous Gigabit broadband package does not have a 2.5G LAN, and the router that upgrades the package is still quite fragrant.
The same is gigabit broadband, we may not be clear where the difference between single port and dual port, to 2000M as an example, the current 2000M broadband is mostly dual port, that is, two gigabit ports composed of 2000M. Xiao Lei learned that dual Gigabit routers generally only have two ethernet ports to support gigabit networks, while all network ports of single-port gigabit (full gigabit) routers support gigabit networks, including wired and wireless.
Coupled with WiFi6, the upgraded broadband terminal will be able to provide a better wireless network experience, which means that mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones and computers that support WiFi6 can use gigabit networks. Of course, if the device at home doesn't support WiFi6, there may not be much need to upgrade.
Nowadays, home broadband networks are gradually entering the 2000 trillion era, and the most obvious improvement is that the network speed is faster. In order to give full play to the strength of gigabit broadband, routers, network cards and other devices must also be upgraded together. At present, the terminal equipment equipped by operators may not be able to exert the full strength of 1000 megabit broadband, let alone 2000M.
On the other hand, China Telecom's 2000M broadband tariff is also very cheap, Xiaolei has previously reported that Telecom's new broadband package provides 2000M bandwidth for two years, with a monthly tariff of less than 300 yuan. Xiao Lei believes that with the popularity of gigabit broadband, there will be more and more packages with lower tariffs and more supporting routers with stronger performance, and it is expected that other operators will follow suit.
