Will I still be subject to BT's traffic management/shaping if I go with their Infinity package? I'm guessing by some of the screenshots above the answers no but I don't want to get caught out.

You will be.

Where are you getting that usage info from - I can't see it on my account when I log in to the BT site?

That sucks. I know their shapeing it because it's just turned 12 just as went into this thread and I saw Utorrent download speeds spring to life.

Login into your BT account and click on Home>My BT>My Services>Broadband>View your Broadband usage

Cheers - I was looking in another place which seemed to say it would tell me about broadband usage but instead just said that I would never be charged for it but with no gauge.

Noes - New HDD reinstalled steam games.

OT, but you know you don't need to redownload your games when you 'reinstall' Steam right?

Well my old HDD died

Steam.exe + bc2 is on my SSD, rest on new drive.

Glad BT is unlimited took me just over 2 days, if I were with Zen for example would have taken me over 2 months on the top package because of the bandwidth limit.

Going away in holiday soon for 10days.

It will be ok for me to turn my hub and modem off for that time right?

Just leave it on because when its down it takes a while to synchronize up back to speed, atleast that's what i've noticed. No harm leaving it on tbh, just disable wireless.

Think they offer unlimited? I just use the free

edit: Oh wait, no they don't

Plenty of unlimited online backups about tho.

Ok guys, some of you already know that I've been having problems connecting via wireless as the speed was terrible so I connected via ethernet and the speed is spot on. Now, my brother just came back from holiday and did a speed test for the first time since getting BT Infinity installed and he got the same speed I get while connected via ethernet but the only thing is, he is connected via wireless.
He's in the next room to mine on the same floor and has the same wireless adapter.

Does anyone know why my wireless connection is crap and his is perfect?

Thanks.

Didn't you have a wireless G card??
