That's what I was thinking, I have been very happy with it, only problem is I don't use the landline at all and it's annoying paying £15 a month for it.

I agree. I have 300/20 FTTP and anything over 100 Mbps is just not that common (due to bandwidth bottlenecks elsewhere on the Internet). Anything with an Akamai local mirror blazes down at 200+, but even then, I very rarely see a solid 300 Mbps.

Tell me about it. It's essentially a legally-backed way of charging an extra £15 a month. What a scam!

It's not a scam, it's to pay for the upkeep of the network, your ISP gets all the money for your internet service.
Do you expect BTO to maintain the line FOC?

Is there any contact page for asking about cab location/upgrades. My FTTC cab is .4 / .6 miles (depends which way you walk and BT fitted the cables) away and I get 40/10. It's no longer taking orders. Less than 10M away I have normal green cab. I'm hoping they add an fiber cab to that as to the right of my house and beyond no one can have fiber
Thanks

The ISP pays the incumbent copper network provider (Openreach?) for the use of the copper network -- I pay the ISP, the ISP pays for the use of the network. If the network provider isn't charging enough, then charge whatever you actually need to charge, and be honest about it! How on earth is it not a scam to charge me £15 every single month for something I don't use? And not only that, but charge me an ADDITIONAL fee if I don't make any phone calls -- that's right, charge me MORE for not using it. WHAT?!
Never mind that I am still charged line rental on a 100% fibre connection. That's right, I am paying line rental on a virtual phone line. If it costs £15 a month to maintain a piece of cable in the ground, then so be it, charge me for it, just don't call it "line rental" -- that's dishonest.

Since moving to BT residential from business my putty session keeps freezing all the time. I never had this problem with the business line. Sometimes i would get disconnected and i couldn't log in again. But i did not have the problem where putty freezes and hangs while in use. Compression is enabled. Any one else have problems with tunnelling through ssh on BT residential?

I agree rotor. I could change to VM 100mb for £35 a month without a phoneline but their network is a bit too hit and miss.
Just noticed that my local exchange is now "Under Evaluation" for fibre on the Openreach map. Probably means it's still a good few years away but if I'm still living here by then, it'll be nice!
3Mbps will have to suffice until that time I suppose.

I wrote a reply and then re-read your question. So what are your intentions? To get a different line coming from that cabinet which is 10M away?

It's your end. My SSH sessions have been up for months.
More to see if they will add fiber to the cab that 10m away and allow other to the right of my address to have it (same road) as friends live there that want it (currently they use mine with a Ethernet cable across the bushes)
Today my speed has dropped to 20mb since 6am or so suddenly....BT speedtest reports it as 65mb but the Okla Speedtest site says 20mb and Steam downloads 2.5mb/s max on games.
I've reseted router+modem yet not solved anything so i guess it will auto resolve on it's own?

Not had any problems with putty to my servers here on BT residential though I'm rarely connected for more than 20 minutes at a time.
Ahh, gotcha.
OK, go to here and put in their phone number. Take note of the exchange ID and cabinet number. Send an email to [email protected] with that information and ask them what their plans are. They'll take 10-15 working days to respond (usually quicker).Hope this helps.

Than you, mail sent, will let you know

Anybody else on infinity 2 had there speed reduced to 20mb download since the weekend ? It seems others have this issue (bt fourms) even though my ip profile is 77.44mb and wired its capped @ 20mb. Might be a wider issue
