A shame isn't it - I'm with o2, happy with them but... no Fibre.
Do I need to get a MAC to leave them?

hmm, so sometime later on today we will be able to upgrade off their website or ring up?
BT Wholesale Checker is saying
"Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 64.6Mbps and upstream line speed of 20Mbps."
However, I have been informed from the BT engineer that my line is capable of supporting just over 100Mbs.

My checker still says 32Meg but in fact I hit the 40 Meg ceiling.
Although I have noticed something VERY weird.
Before on the BT speedtester it said my profile was 38.72
Now it says 38.71
This is a 0.01 difference! Surely I can't be syncing at 39998. If I reboot the modem it comes up the same, so the chances of pulling that stunt off twice would be near impossible!
I haven't hacked the modem yet as I wanted to get through a month, in case I needed help from BT with anything, before doing that.

If you’re already a BT Infinity customer, you can switch to the faster products by starting a new contract, at no extra cost.

This is so freaking win, I don't care about the 18 Month contract, already been through one and the service was excellent.
Let me tell you something. Last year I said the same thing but I waited! I regret waiting so much.
Signed up to infinity option 2 two weeks ago. Never looking back. I can't believe how nice customer service has been from BT and Order management.
In one week I have been called around 10 times from BT, problems originating from BE MAC, lost modem, and it all came together on the scheduled day!
Constant sync at 37.4 Down and 8.2 UP - very little if no fluctuation since then.
Sorry! If you snooze you loose! I was with Be for 7 years. No don't think they can offer a competitive Fibre deal (with their unlimited unshaped and unrestricted moto) then I will definitely jump back. Something tells me though that when Be rolls out Fibre (and they will) it will have to be expensive to keep in line with their moto.
So do you have to call them to go through the upgrade or can it be done online. At work and can't check much at the minute.
Wholesale checker says I could get 60Mb down and 20Mb up. It will probably be better than that. Might as well go with the new contract for the increase.

I've no idea where to ask this really, there doesn't seem to be a forum for it but.. if I switch to Sky for my line rental as part of the Fibre offering, will I lose the phone deal I have with a third party telecoms company? I currently have BT line rental but with a third party deal on top (For calls, not line rental).
I would love if, when they do get fibre that they offer their 24mb package on fibre with a higher upload.
That way the price could stay lower whilst being unshaped.

I guess you should ask the third party company or have a check through their T&C's. Is it 18185?
Pretty sure Sky line rental is just still through BT.
