Just ordered mine, 17th July date! Was tempted by the BT vision (on demand junk handy for the little one) but ill probably hold on that till they release a HD version, if ever.

Ah well, its not the end of the world if i have to use wireless, i know the wireless wont be half as bad on the Home hub as it is on the superhub
I take it using the second socket in the bedroom would give me a reduced speed as its not the master socket?
I'm actually impressed with the wireless, I'm finding the signal a fair stronger than the O2 wireless box IV.
As for the socket, they usually fit an ADSL filter faceplate on the main socket. This means the filter is part of the master socket, meaning the router must be connected to this one. All other extension sockets will be purely for phones. However, this means you won't need a filter for every phone in the house as well

Regarding upload speed, will this improve watching youtube and streams etc as on VM the buffering is awful?
Or is the purely just download for watching things that buffer etc?.
Soz if this is silly question
Pretty much download only.
Anyone else have no internet connection? Checked the BT site and broadband down in multiple areas. Thank god I have my mobile...
EDIT: Internet is back up. They also randomly decided to put me back on the Fast profile too:
Seems Fast/Interleaving does affect my download speeds...

BT broadband packs up again - second big outage in a fortnight
This relevant to your loss of connection?
You need to flash the white modem with it's original firmwire over the BT firmwire (which unlocks it and allows you to have control over it's settings): http://huaweihg612hacking.wordpress.com/
Once you do this, you can get all kinds of infomation such as sync speed, profile speed, etc.

What is the current install time-lag in the Bristol area/generally?
Moving into a new property next week and I'd like to know how long I'd be without net!

Had my Infinity installed today, however my upload speed seems to be maxing out at 8mbit when the Engineer said that his machine reported that the line is good for 20mbit.
Any ideas how to improve it? I believe that waiting 10 days for the line to "train" doesn't apply to FTTC.

Not sure, but mine took 10 days to settle down, kept resyncing several times a day.
Ah cool, thanks. I'll try to be patient
The service is already a LOT better than my Virgin Media 50mbit ever was.
Virgin aren't so bad after all it seems. BT promising speeds it isn't delivering, and what are these big BT outages ? Hopefully just teething problems in both cases.
Does everyone get peroids, usually short, were they just cant connect to certain sites? usually its almost any site, but sometimes will just fail randomly, and if you retry it works.
Only thing i can think it would be is the DNS, as other internet activities continue as normal.
Edit: So frustrating, some sites working others not at all.
