BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

When i check on the Openreach site it says my exchange is accepting orders but when i go to the BT site it says i cannot get it even though my cabinet has been installed on my street.

You think maybe its just not uptodate on tehre site when i check the speed checker.

Anyone had major line speed drops, gone from

now my line is stabalised. They predicted 54/15. Seems a waste of time upgrading for 3mb d/load extra than I used to have, lol

Turn your router and HH3 modem off
Leave off for a minute or so
Turn the modem back on
When the green ligh(s) start to flash turn the HH£ back on

This has sorted that exact same problem out for quite a few on other forums :)

Anyone had problems with getting FTTC activated? I was supposed to get it today but Openreach told my ISP there was a "technical issue" with my cabinet. :(
Guesses at what that might be?

I'm going with squirrels made the cab their love nest and it's now protected against disturbance by UK law.
 
80Mbps is 10MB/s. I don't mind having 330Mbps, but who needs to download more than 36GB/hr.

I wouldnt want someone abusing unlimited data at that full speed damaging the service of others.

I dunno..give me 330Mbit upload and let me run a ton of servers from home and I'd go for it :p (I know the service doesn't offer this)

Currently I spend £60/month on my dedi box. I'd happily funnel that much extra into a home connection if I could have the same kind of speeds and latency.

Kind of makes my point. VM for example offer high speeds in a lot of places but when a lot of people swallow that bandwidth up together, it just results in poor speeds for everyone.

Some kind of rationing needs to happen, speed is as good as any since there is next to no consumer use for 330Mbps.

This is the same issue I have with Virgin. I don't want 100Mbps if I'm being honest. I want a lag free, packet loss free, stable connection with a guaranteed bandwidth allowance. Virgin certainly can't provide that.

The difference with VM is that they don't invest in their network and attempt to massively oversell their service given the amount of bandwidth available.

Providing high speeds with decent latency to customers is perfectly possible with a well managed network. I don't believe that 330mbit is required at the moment but that number is clearly just there to allow companies to give high headline speeds.

Agreed. I only got my 100mbit VM connection for the 10mbit upload (not for gaming as the increased upload makes zero difference for that) - I use my connection for website development and also need to upload large files at times for the gaming servers I host. At the start it was awesome but it quickly became absolute garbage as the area became saturated with customers overloading the local UBR. This isn't the customer's fault though - it is VM's for selling a service that they can't support.
