BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

Openreach checker says FTTP 1600Meg down and 115Meg up. BTw checker says FTTP 1000Meg down and 220Meg up. Zen Internet checker says FTTP 910Meg down and 109Meg up. EE checker says FTTP 1600Meg and 115Meg up.

Who are correct?
I have had Zen 1.6Gbps Openreach package since February despite it not being advertised on their site. Needed Openreach to swap out the ONT to cope with the higher speed. Can't remember how I found the package.

Edit: might have been uswitch

Just checked and trust 1.6Gbps option is also there for me.
 
EE & Zen say 1.6Gig not available. Only 900/110 because of OH FTTP (overhead pole - Single Dwelling Unit Residential OH Feed alternate L2C solution required)

It's finally here at last! FTTP is now available to order! Can't wait for January installation FTTP :cry: I have decided went for Aquiss 900/100 FTTP.
I'm checking daily now after seeing open reach swarming my street. They have been everywhere around us the past week and 4 vans per street. I'm impressed.
 
Look like my FTTP will in two stages according to BTW Checker:

FTTP Install Process KCI2 Assure

Our records show the following FTTP network service information for these premises:-Single Dwelling Unit Residential OH Feed alternate L2C solution required.
FTTP is available and a new ONT may be ordered.
