BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

[Rroff]

No but I've never had my IP change while a session is connected - usually only changes when the line drops for whatever reason and it will stay connected for days even months on end sometimes.

 

[RizGB]

must be a router problem requesting a new ip when modem does not lose any sync
and i do not touch the router been a problem ever since the fw on the router updated

as you can see in the logs it doesn't even stay connected for longer than 3 days

 

[RizGB]

Just checking logs again it seems to go down around the same time
at midnight

00:47:06,01 Sep. LAN2 up
00:47:04,01 Sep. LAN2 down

00:36:58,07 Sep. LAN2 up
00:36:58,07 Sep. LAN2 down

 

[Phreaky]

From reading the logs, those LANx up/down messages are internal network clients connecting/disconnecting, not the WAN (Internet).

My BT fibre cabinet has as long last gone live, I have ordered PlusNet Unlimited Fibre.
The install date is AM on the 20th of this month.
I am not that bothered by the out right speed, I am just hoping that the connection is more reliable then my current ADSL2+ connection.

Can you tell me what kind of download speeds you get?

 

[Raymond Lin]

About the same?

I am not sure how I can check.

 

[opstrat]

Sorry I Mean, when you Download a file how fast are u getting?

 

[Montegue]

Can you tell me what kind of download speeds you get?

At a good guess (as it's very close to mine) I'd say HTTP 8.9mb/s, a good torrent 8.7 to 8.9

 

[Raymond Lin]

I don't do torrents, point me to something big to download?

 

[MissChief]

www.thinkbroadband.com/download is a good test. Pick something >200MB

 

[bad_ass_neil]

some times i test a large file from Microsoft download centre grab a service pack, they can easily be a few hundred MB.

not always the most consistent but it normally maxs out our work line

 

[matt100]

well for what its worth, my cap seems to have gone.. BT have been desperately trying to call me to discuss it but either they've done something or it was something to do with a new line.

Very happy speedtest says my line tops out at about 50mb, thinkbroadband said one of the burst tests was closer to 70.

I couldn't care less to be honest, a) I'm not paying anyway so as long as its close to whats advertised thats good enough for me, b) its a hell of a lot faster than the old shaky 5-6mb c) the router doesn't kick my work macbook every couple of hours

WIN.

Is it possible to have a static IP address on BT infinity?

Everyday I am accessing servers with a new IP address and it is a pain having to update server whitelist to allow access.

 

[bremen1874]

AFAIK BT will only provide static IPs on their business products. Plusnet are better for this as they'll give you a static IP for a one off fee of £5.

 

[Westyfield2]

What he said. BT Infinity for Business will do you a static IP, but you won't get BT Sports like you do with BT Retail.

 

[anything I don't mind]

Bt business charge extra for a static ip. I think its £5 a month extra.

I am still getting 75/16 on speed test. I did the download test at http://www.thinkbroadband.com/download.html with 1gb file and was getting 7-8mbyte a second. Definitely working well.
