BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion
- Thread starter michellez
- Start date
I live in a rural location - I'm one of 4 houses in the village which can get FTTC at ~30Mbit, all the rest are on ~3Mbit ADSL... most can only get ~13Mbit on 4G - I've fortunately been getting 60-100Mbit on 4G somehow - with the conditions it shouldn't be possible.

It’s super unreliable, my estate is not on the map yet I have been enjoying FTTP.Awhh openreach checker has gone from build planned by end of March’23 out to by Dec’26
Imagine it’ll get canned, live on a narrow one way road so access isn’t great.
Upgrade?
Sky to BT both £35 a month.
My town has completed . On my road I’m one of only 5 properties which can’t get FTTP because they required access to the back garden of a housing association property in order to finish the install and the LA refused access.Awhh openreach checker has gone from build planned by end of March’23 out to by Dec’26

BT have offered me £28 pm renewal for my 900 Mb package.
I'm tempted to do this after April, given that Giganet have still failed to get my city fibre line installed, and their communication has been abysmal.

How do you get such a good deal.

It's just what the website spewed out when I clicked on "upgrade"
Engineer left just gone 11 o'clock, told to leave for a while to allow it to update and settle down.
Early days, admittedly, but more than happy with it so far: -
Last time I ran one for my 250Mb VM connection it came in at: -
Download - 278
Upload - 26

Fibre needs a spa day and a nice stay at a relaxing hotel!
Yeah, that's the beauty of it. It is what it is. Absolutely love it.
I can see why they'd come out with it though, if there's a green PON light and their light levels are where they should be then there's nothing they can do if your speeds are poor. No point in them standing around for an hour if the problem is your ISP.
On the flipside you have ISPs sending out engineers for things that are obvious faults within their own networks.

Did find it a little strange... the update of the Hub I can understand, but the settling down
That I've cancelled!!However, one thing he did mention was that in the event of there being loss of power to the OTN, either through a power cut, or switching it off, is that upon the power having been restored I'd have to give BT a call to get the connection back
Can anyone shed any light on this, as again I was a little surprised to hear that and thought it would do this automatically once the power was restored?
Cheers.
