BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

Torrents haven't been throttled for me for over a month now at anytime, even the upload has been giving out 1MB/s.

It depends on your area usage.

Lucky bum.

I might have to re-check my speeds tonight, but I doubt I'll see the same result. Edinburgh seems to have a pretty decent uptake on Infinity, actually. :eek:

Sherm · 9 Dec 2011 at 14:26

Nightglow · 9 Dec 2011 at 14:39

Getting a ping of 25. :mad:

Sherm · 9 Dec 2011 at 14:52

haha, ok you beat me!

Cooper · 9 Dec 2011 at 17:56

Oh how i love British ISP's....

In the space of 24hrs, gone from this..

Seriously, is there any such thing as a reliable internet service in this country.?

:mad:

Nightglow · 9 Dec 2011 at 17:59

Restart.

Mine took days to finally settle down.

Use other speedtest.net servers. Start a think broadband latency monitor.

Tried multiple servers, they're all showing crap results.

Cant, they don't support dynamic IP address monitoring.

I've been using broadband long enough to spot an over congested network when i see it....the slow speeds kicked in around 4pm, and I bet my speeds will be back to normal after 11pm or so.. :rolleyes:

I would definitely recommend Infinity. I have had full speeds 24/7 since I had it installed in April. Running fine tonight:

It will be fine as long as the connection doesn't drop. VDSL2 is reasonably stable.

Cooper · 10 Dec 2011 at 11:31

Back to what it's supposed to be this morning... :confused:

Is this how its going to be?....nice and fast during the day, completely unusable after about 4pm?

Did you try the BT speedtester when you were experiencing problems!

John24 · 10 Dec 2011 at 11:42

Cooper, you do realise this thread is for infinity and your with talktalk.

tntcoder · 10 Dec 2011 at 12:01

If you get BT Infinity and then move house, does anyone know what costs are involved? i.e. is it possible to transfer the connection to the new place - I assume there will be some costs involved in fixing the face plates and what not.
