For 12 months?
Thanks for the answers. Will see how it pans out in 10 days time.
I've had Infinity close to a year, had a bit of an issue with them getting the installation date right but other than that it's ran fine the whole time
Which area in leicester are you from?
my area does not have bt infinity yet.
I'm actually near Nottingham, I think Leicester was just Ookla's best server option at the time
On Friday, I happened to have the day off work. I was casually playing a game of Fifa online and my connection dropped. I've only had one outage since the install of fttc last September so thought it was a little strange. Looked out of the living room window as the cabinet is in line of sight and watched 2 kelly communication engineers open it up and take about 15 minutes to swap the line cards out for new ones. Taking lots of photos as they went about it. Connection came straight back up after that. Anyone know why they would be swapping them?

My internet speed has gone to crap within the past couple of weeks.
It's now at 12-13Mbps down and 0.5Mbps Up..
What can I do?

Talk to your ISP and get them to restart it? that's what I did with Talktalk a while back and it was fine. Did it on their community forums page.

Jesus Christ, finally!
Are those numbers any good? Paying for 80 down, 20 up.

If anyone is wondering (probably no one 
) the ECI modem power supply works with the HG612. Both are 12V, 1A supplies and have the same header, except the HG12 plugs in at a right angle and the ECI plugs in straight.
I switched my ECI modem last night and couldn't be arsed to unbundle the psu from the network rack

Looks like that's what you're getting.

What does your speed test say?
Routers often give line-stats rather than the actual speed you are connected at.

If you assume no overheads then you should be downloading at 80Mbps which is 10MBps. With overheads you should be able to get 9MBps(-ish).

Guys can you get the following with VDSL like I could with ADSL? I used to have the following with TalkTalk, wondering if any of these will work with fiber.
6db interleaving (fastest profile)
DLM Off

In a word - No.
ISP's have no control over the DLM system, that is controlled by BT openreach and they will not switch it off.
Interleaving and signal to noise margin (the 6DB you quote there) falls under the DLM system, DLM will apply interleaving and other line stability enhancements if your line requires them

Well - i'll give credit where it's due. Liz has emailed me weekly updates, as promised. Every monday morning she emailed me an update on what is happening and kept me in the loop
