BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

passed 3 bt engineers working on 3 separate cabinets today, soooooon. tempted to nip down to my cabinet with a coffee for him see if he can fix it up faster lol.
 
Jesus Christ... :o

I'd love to know how BT plan this out as i've already asked the local council and they've not put anything forward to them even though the spot where the current box is is more that suitable enough. there's plenty of housing/people around here that all want it and have been waiting on it for ages. Even the bloody knuckle draggers 5 miles up the road have fiber, it makes no sense! :mad:

So does that mean that it basically won't happen? The other 2 FTTC aren't even there, I have:

WBC ADSL 2+ Up
ADSL Max Up
WBC Fixed Rate
Fixed Rate

Other Offerings
Fibre Multicast

Maybe you're on a E/O Line directly into the exchange? No cabinet to upgrade. My village is all E/O line, fttc is at the exchange but they tell me it's not economically viable to install cabinets and reroute the lines, so probably probably never get it.

put your address in this checker http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/A...service provider&VERSION=35&MS=E&CAP=no&AEA=Y

and it will tell you what your cabinet number are and go out and find your cabinet number and see if fibre cabinet is built there or not

I know where the cabinet is and i've already rang the local council who claim the ball is in BT's park. Is there a number for BT that I could ring?

How would I check that? The cabinet is just down the street but to my knowledge the line comes off a wooden post outside into my house.

Beware of horrible Home Hub 5 rebooting itself every nights! Will affect DLM.

Well only got the homehub, so will just need to hope for the best with it. So far it seems to be behaving and has stayed connected since it was put it.


On the subject of the DLM, how often/frequently do you need to reboot/turn off modem for it to kick it and cap the connection?

My connection before was just adsl2+ which just synced at whatever it could and didn't seem to have an ip profile (or at least it was very lenient).

So I've not really dealt with it before and while I do try to keep it plugged in, occasionally it will be turned off.
 
Does the DLM work the other way too, in regards to stable connections? Will it rise the IP Profile over time as well or does that need manually altering?

Mine seems stuck at approx 52-53 mb download and hasn't shifted for quite a while.

ok what exchange are you actually on ?

and have you checked it on the when and where website i posted from bt.

http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/

as for people have fibre 5 mile up the road, iv been in that situation for a couple of years, means sod all im afraid.

first run that when and where website and see if you are due fttc if your not then register your interest and wait, same boat everyone in until bt get around to upgrading the exchange.

asking the council is utterly pointless btw they dont have a clue about anything. never will do as bt wont tell them anything outside of rough dates for completion and then only within a couple of months of the due date.
 
yeah acording to sameknows its FTTC status: Available in some areas.

contacted your current isp and see what they say. or find your cabinet and see if theres a fttc cabinet next to it.

if your not on a cabinet but hooked firectly to the exchange i think your stuck with what you have for a while longer until bt get around to hooking up ftth or you drop a stack of cash on a ftth install.
