BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

.Griff. · 1 Jan 2013 at 19:03

The BT forum is a complete and under waste of time inhabited by a few BT fanboys who will defend them to death and blame everything else possible. You're wasting your time, and sanity, arguing with them.

The FTTC network does not suffer congestion like the 21CN does.

I can't tell if he's retarded or a troll.

Wrong, once the fibre cables leave the cabinet and go to the exchange, they do not enter at any point in the exchange with the 21CN network.

Comedy gold.

He is 100% retarded and doesn't have a clue what he is talking about, what frightens me - is that hes a BT engineer or so he says, no wonder nothing gets fixed with idiots like him let lose.

Currently rolling along with a 1mbs connection. I can't wait until my contract ends which is soon.

Locky, did you get my trust message?

Yes mate, I don't know how to determine if I'm going through Huddersfield, I know my traffic is routed to Sheffield which is 35 miles north of me, nothing in the trace which points out that I am

That ratty2012 who is mind an openreach engineer is a complete and utter noob. He even denies there is isn't congestion on BT's network and also denies people that live in London get routed to Sheffield then back to London.

I thinking of reporting him for a few slander remarks to open-reach see what they have to say.

I'm currently on Sky ADSL getting 3.5Mb down and half a meg up but i can get BT infinity which is estimated at 60Mb down 15mb up.

Had been waiting since i moved in for Sky to start providing fibre as they said they were working on providing this but i think itll be a while yet, is it worth moving over to BT for infinity or holding off and waiting with Sky?

I feel sorry for the customers on the forum and in real life. He's doing some real damage.

finally i have managed to order BT Infinity 2.

Install date is 10th Jan. woohoo.

switch from O2 broadband went hassle free, was meant to be switched today but my internet stopped working a few days ago so i plugged in the home hub and my broadband light turned blue.

hopefully the infinity installation goes ok, what does the engineer actually do at my house?

On an AOL fixed contract till Dec 2013 |:

Since Infinty is enabled in my area i shall definitely be getting it, currently on around 3.5mbps down.

Can get up to 55mbps with Infinty, will this be FTTC ? my nearest phone cabinet is around 400m away.

The engineer will fit a filtered faceplate.

What a tool. I'm going to jump in on him if he takes my bait.

drizzy · 2 Jan 2013 at 11:08

Think someone near my place had some fancy lights or amps causing a bit of interference on NYE, which had led to 8ms of interleaving on DS. I was away for NYE so don't know exactly what happened.

Interference starts early in afternoon (testing?) followed by probable party hours (8pm till midnight)

Then after midnight, still on fastpath, everything is back to normal. But at 4am, DLM decides I need interleaving.

Bloody marvellous. Attainable rate is 96meg, so hopefully this doesn't last more than a week.

People on that BT forum are just cretins, annoy me soo much!

you are getting large burst of noise from 4pm onwards and I think that is what is triggering DLM into interleave.

The thread got locked

My speed is back to normal atm, but I know for a fact it will start to grand to a halt later-on this afternoon.

Yeah, this is just a once off and happened on Dec 31st so I suspect someone had some fancy equipment for a NYE party which caused some noise... fingers crossed anyway!

Also the level of incompetence in that thread on the BT forum is amazing.

General personal rant time - I'm originally from Aus (in UK since 2007) and sometimes get frustrated that there's not something more like Whirlpool.net.au for the UK - knowledgeable people in the UK broadband market are spread too thinly across various forums, which has the effect of lowering the general level of discussion and basic competence.

TBB is sort of OK, but the forum software is horrible and there are too many subforums. This thread is good, but it's just one thread.

That guy was a copy and paste jocky and didn't have a clue what he was talking about tbh.

FTTC DLM is a bit quicker to react than ADSL DLM and recovers much quicker, if the line is error free for the next 36 hours I would think it will remove the interleave.
