DSTV Explora - Max download speed possible?

[krugie]

Has anyone with fibre connections in excess of 100Mbps managed to get speed test results on any DSTV Explora model over 100Mbps - either via Ethernet or Wifi?

I seem to recall the first model only supported speeds up to 100Mbps but heard nothing since about the Explora 2A or the Explora 3. Not that I think the DSTV servers are capable of delivering content at anything close to these speeds - it is purely out of interest since my line will soon be upgraded from 100Mbps to 200Mbps.

In case anyone is interested, I can confirm that, on the 2A (and Explora 1), Ethernet speed is limited to 100Mbps but on WiFi it is possible to get higher speeds. I've seen close to 180Mbps on my 200Mbps line connecting via 5Ghz. 2,4Ghz seems to be much more limiting - highest I've seen was 103Mbps.

100 Mbps via Ethernet. Couldn't be bothered to un-dust my WiFi connector to test the WiFi theory
