Cheers guys !! Thanks for the fast reply. On with the ordering. Will be sorry to leave Be* 
On on the last bit of the countdown now until I have FTTP. They installed all the fibre to the house a couple of weeks ago and BT guy will be here in the morning to connect the modem to the fibre (getting a fibre phone line too apparently). Will report back tomorrow with speeds if it all goes ok.
Anyone know the correct term for fibre, is it fibre or fiber (or is fiber the US version)?

Done and done but I went with BT in the end. Just ordered it a couple of hours ago. It will be live on the 16th November. I was able to get it on the 15th but I have a pre operation appointment at the same time the BT guy was coming :/
Can't wait now

It changes all the time.
My exchange was due to be done by december last year,march this year and then december this year. Now that site says end of 2013
On the BT infinity website it still says by end December this year but it hasn't been updated as it's still showing places due to be enabled by Sept 2102
*edit*
Just looked on the samknows website and it looks like we've been put back AGAIN!

The guy has just finished installing my FTTP.
Lol is that the right download speed?
Nice
I'll bite... Please tell us all why 15ms is "terrible" for FTTP.
Because OP has no idea what he is on about.
15ms isn't terrible anywhere, besides the point its to a speed-test server which is potentially very inaccurate anyway.
I know.. I'm just waiting to see what justification, aka waffle, he came out with for his statement.
It's about 15 times higher than it should be? Although we can't really diagnose much from a speedtest ping result I suppose.
Here's a traceroute from a FTTH connection in Hobart, Tasmania (where I grew up) to Melbourne - about 400miles away.
I reckon the speedtest result above is the result of BT's 'amazing' routing again.

So you're saying FTTP latency should be 1ms? Why?
