Although the Engineers own speed test said I would get the full 40mb down and full 10mb up.
He even showed me his phone with the test one which said 39.9999 and 9.9999

Its the upload bandwidth thats very important for online gaming!

I can feel the difference in BC2... although yesterday my pings were very high (300ms) but I suspect they will improve over the days/weeks.

Feels alien and wrong leaving the bt modem and hub on 24/7.......

Anyone tried playing with the power saving features of the hub?

Im weary of trying the power saving features. Will using the internet during power saving mode cause issues?
 
My modem is mounted on the wall out of the way and its doesn't get the slightest bit warm even during a large download...

Pic on the previous pages if you not seen it. :)

So the BT Infinity guesstimator said you would get 28.8mbit and you ended up with 35-40mbit? NICE! How far are you from the Exchange? What was your ADSL2+ sync rate?

Why is the speedtest wrong? 36.65 / 8 = 4.58, just slightly higher than the 4.2 he's getting from Nvidia.

groen: If you can get the same service in the house you're moving to, I believe you can simply "continue" your service there, not sure if renews the contract period or not. If there's no FTTC where you're moving, I'm pretty sure you'd have to pay cancellation fees.

Oh my bad! Cool nice! :)
Well I was expecting more coz the BT man said it would be full 40mb

Sorry my bad
 
Your previous ADSL/2 sync rate will have no bearing on what speed you will receive via FTTC, FTTC sync rate is based from distance from the nearest cab and your D-side Line quality.

Does every one else leave their equipment on 24/7?

You should always do or the line will sync to slower speeds as ISP's think your line is faulty as when you turn off it shows as line error or something that's what BE told me and it's true because i used to turn mine off every night getting slow speed but since leaving on 24/7 it always hits cap since.(the engineer who visited even said the same thing)

I am thinking of leaving BE for this too as they are taking ages to get fibre yet it says my line would ger 32/8 estimate which is brilliant for me.
