What does www.bt.com/infinity say if you stick your phone number or postcode in? It's reasonably accurate for activation dates, just gives a crappy speed estimate

It that just exchange activation or does that also include cabinet work?

I know and rather than it saying NO, they are quite sneaky and they offer you standard ADSL, which is why it says BT Total Broadband and not BT infinity, read the message "If you don't see BT Infinity, you can vote for your exchange to be enabled at..."

30th September 2010 ...so why the hell can't I get it yet? :mad:

Cheers, they enabled mine in June. Ain't gonna happen for me. Looks like the only way for me to get decent broadband is move

18 month contract , no thanks.. Wait for SKY . talk talk to offer it first.

Andy · 15 Oct 2010 at 12:39

Eco plus is poo, avoid infinity at all costs.

Archy · 15 Oct 2010 at 13:04

Getting the unlimited package installed next Wednesday. Considering I'm going from Sky Connect (getting about 0.3mb/s) I'm looking forward to this!

Exact same speeds as I have been quoted. Although they will be a lot more since I'm about 150metres from the cabinet. Should see 38Mb+ going by what others have got.

Currently on 5mb O2 llu. The cost and contract length puts me off with BT Infinity. Too use to paying £7.50 for broadband.

borich_planner · 15 Oct 2010 at 20:49

Aren't sky going to be activating the ethernet on the hd boxes soon. If you get anytime and they offer fibre net, could be interesting?

Not even on the list

Aeleys · 15 Oct 2010 at 23:44

not had a sales call yet, due to get it early JAN. if its worth the money i may invest.

my estimated results:

24.1Mb download
10.0Mb upload

whats all this talk about the cabinets? is it those green-ish boxes? if so mine is about 10 meters away from my front door, yet i get slow speeds?

TheOtherOption · 15 Oct 2010 at 23:48

One check on their site days 30th Sept 2012 for my local exchange then that link Simulatorman posted sats 31st Dec 2010 ... I'd love to believe that latter!

They only just moved us onto the "up to" 20mb service and we get 15.5mb so not too shabby for the time being
