BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

[Jez]

It will have been due to the geography of the network rather than skipping yours out or picking exchange names out of a hat

 

[GAC]

still think theres a hat picking session involved.

is funny when anyways asks bt about how it works they never actually say. like its some big mystery or too complicated for us to know. same with openreach as well.

BT had admitted that BT problem with evening congestion affected by Liverpool node:

There has been an issue with a Liverpool Node covering the following dialing codes:

01132 01142 01159 01179 01204 012135 012142 012147 012150 012152 012155 012170 012177 012178 01229 01244 01248 01253 01254 01257 01271 01282 01283 01286 01293 01294 01325 01327 01332 01339 01384 014133 014188 01420 01422 01432 01443 01449 01452 01467 01475 01484 01496 015120 015122 015123 015125 015128 015129 015133 015142 015147 015148 015149 015152 015153 015154 015164 015165 015167 015173 015193 01524 01525 01527 01535 01539 01543 01562 01592 01606 016122 016123 016143 016147 016148 016149 016162 016164 016170 016172 016173 016174 016176 016179 016183 016186 016196 01625 01634 01646 01685 01691 01695 01702 01704 01708 01745 01753 01766 01772 01773 01776 01782 01807 01829 01834 01838 01879 01884 01902 01908 019145 01922 01924 01925 01928 01934 01942 01946 01948 01952 01962 01970 01977 01978 01985 01995 0207426 0207493 0207539 0207629 0207792 0208592 0208868 0247638 0283083 0283751 0283752 0283883 0283887 0284277 0284372 0284376 0284483 0288284 0289081 0289261 0289261 0289266 0289266 0289752 0289754

It's possible that this may have had an impact as we've been advised "customers may be experiencing a degradation of Broadband Service." This should have now been resolved

Four and a half months and looking good:

 

[Armadillo]

Had mine for a week now. Homehub seems fine. Doesn't seem to be afflicted by the reboot every night thing.

Last system reboot was on the 13th and that seemed to be for a system update. Other than that, seems perfectly stable for me .

U are very lucky indeed. Your network node must be un-congestion

 

[BattFink]

Can't say I've ever had a problem with Infinity, I've had it for nearly two years now & it's been rock solid at:

Looking at the line stats on my HG612, I do seem to experience a lot of FEC & HEC errors on the line though... not sure if anything can be done about it though.

Work are going to be installing a second line at somepoint with Zen (also FTTC), so will be interested to see the difference between the two (if any)

I keeping an eyes on this one Zen FTTC

 

[House]

That is so as it is rolled out with geographical sense with regards to the network. I am still not sure how many 21CN exchanges there can really be with no BDUK rollout plans? 21CN exchanges are just not that small to have no plans at all. As i say in Oxfordshire there are none, i cannot imagine there being too many nationwide as 21CN isnt very common in smaller exchanges.

I am interested to know which Exchange "House" is on for it to be 21CN but with no plans, if anything just to see its size.

Will be Hanslope exchange, No LLU no FTTx and listed as NC on the openreach website.

That big blob to the south east on the map on sam knows is Hanslope Park home to the FCO and a bunch of spooks I bet they have nice fast internet.

 

[Jez]

Harsh! At least it has 21CN or you would be stuck on profiled 8mbit from the 1990's

 

[Deleted member 77746]

hm contracts up with BT Infinity 2 in two months...

Zen is looking like the fav at the mo.

Why are people from the south and midlands being routed through Liverpool? Retarded BT

my connection is 1mbs right now.

I have had my contract canceled without penalty and getting my MAC code.

 

[bulldog147]

Don't blame ya Locky as it total unfit for purpose! Hope your speed get lot better with your new ISP.

 

[bulldog147]

Fibre is crappy this evening



massive spiked after 9pm


I switch over to Virgin Media and no issues at Cable:

BT FTTC is UNFIT PURPOSE FOR SUPERSLOW FIBRE

 

[opethdisciple]

So whats going on with uplay?

Yesterday it took ages to login, but eventually it worked.

Now, its taking ages then saying I need to enter cd key to play game, but at the top it says it is unable to contacts the uplay servers.

Also crashes once I put cd key in....


----

5 tries later... it works!!

Still having a problem with this.

It works, but it takes ages.... to sign in to sever connect, launch game, connect to uplay servers again, when before it was instant!

 

[timmy85]

So i tweeted at Superfast Cymru for when I can get Fibre, response......March 2015...Completely devastated.

My exchange was all on for end of March 14, just looked now and it's Sept 14 instead. Was wondering why I hadn't seen any new cabs about!

 

[HAz]

I got lots of mates in these fttc areas and they don't seam to know or care and are happy on their 5 meg adsl lines lol, bit annoying when all I can get is 2meg.

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

FTTC line seems to have settled nicely.

I'm not very fond of you...

Four and a half months and looking good:

Or you

What I don't understand is, April 2013 they upgraded the Exchange and that was it, I mean, what's the point of upgrading the exchange, for only a small handful of cabs surrounding the exchange, ridiculous.

I'm assuming there's nothing I can do at this point right? besides sit and wait for the deadline to approach and watch them extend it to 2016.

an interesting post today from thinkbroadband about the bt issues of late in the evenings.

When I first started asking about our Cab back in October 2012 I was told the plan had us down for April/June 2013 that then kept slipping until it arrived in November. Apart from getting frustrated all you can do is sit and wait.
