BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

What do your ONT lights suggest the fault is?

The PON light is solid red, which apparently means a break in the fibre. I've been power cycling it first thing in the morning, and in the evening since it went down, just in case it needs to re-sync, but no luck.
 
just a quick gen up point. i got BT's FTTP the 'not very fast version' (£62/month) to see how it was. it's alright. and for the first month they throw a 'hook' in (a one month, free trial of 500 d/l)

i've just checked the BT site because altho their 900mbs offering was £82/month i decided, because i spend an insane amount of time online that an extra £20 isn't going to hurt

the 900 offering is now only about £69. to rise to £72 next year. i don't know if it is an offer for those already on FTTP, but when i first checked about a week after installation it was, as said, £82

£69/month for 900/110 per month is a no-brainer, as far as i'm concerned. now i'm just waiting for somebody from BT to remove the hook ;-)

Are you on a business tariff as that seems quite expensive. As I am in the process of getting the 900mb tarrif with Plusnet and it will be £39.99

i won't lose sleep that there are cheaper deals out there. i'm alright with it. my previous FTTC deal with landline was costing me more for slower dl/ul.

these days i don't even check to see if i can get cheaper car insurance. perks of old age :-)
 
You're going to be spending almost double what that service can be bought for from premium providers. There's not penny-pinching which you can argue is the smart thing to do if you're well off and time is your most precious commodity, but this is spending substantially more to get less.
 
£69 a month is very high. We're not talking about saving £2-3 a minth, I reckon you could easily get that down to £45-£50 a month without even trying that hard. At least go to one of the utilities sites and see what you're paying is far too much.

You can currently get 500/500 here for £27. 900/110 for £69 is pretty mental?
