Nope, they won't refund, been there....
I thought about that, this postcode appears to be for 5 houses and is 213ft away from the cabinet and 3km from the exchange, although no expert and I have never used BT fiber before. Hence asking on here, I would go into shock if I bought a house that could only get ADSL
Also Virgin media say the house is scheduled to be connected through Cablemystreet. I think their currently spending 'x' million on network expansion and picking off the easy stuff first. The house is a newish build in a street that has cable already.

Just moved house. According to BT I can get Infinity 3 or 4. Worth a try? I guess it's only a 12 month contract.
Do you need the extra speed?

Do you know what's weird about this? I can get FTTP but there's not FTTC option. Only ADSL2. So I might not have a choice.
Why would they waste money on an FTTC cabinet if your area is lucky enough to get pure fibre? You can order Infinity 1 and Infinity 2 speeds with an FTTP line and you're guaranteed to sync at the speed you pay for

Thanks for this information. It's clearer now. Going to go for infinity 4 for a year just to try it once in my life.
And what's the BT hub like with regard to signal etc?
And BT open zone are everywhere which is a plus...
Edit: any current offers running for BT infinity and new customers? Friend referral etc... Thanks

But if there is no BT line there you have to pay £120 BT install fee I've read? So in my case BT would be the more cost effective way unless Sky discount by £120 in the service
80/20?
To be honest I dont know why its such an issue. Sky put there TV prices up every year and its never such an uproar. Plusnet wanted to charge £32 for ADSL 14mb speed for my Father in law yet I get BT Infinity 2 for £32.
If the expected price rise of about £2.50 for my product happens its not too bad. Can I get this cheaper elsewhere without it going up again at the end of the contract ? I've not changed provider for quite a few years so I dont know whether I can be a) bothered with the hassle b) risk ending up with lower speeds.
With what I get now will probably look into going for Infinity 1 if its still around come price rise and actually save myself £6 for not that much reduction in speed.
I only get 47 or so with Zen, however with the new noise limits coming that may go up. Plus my upload is 18, and I'd drop to 8 or whatever if I went on the lower profile so to me I'd rather keep what I have.
I've looked at changing but then my connection has been solid for over a year, so I'll likely stay put.

Just been wondering whether to downgrade to BT Infinity 1. At moment I pay £32 plus £18.99 line rental £50.99. Using speed tests I get about 54-56 meg although my HH says my line can do 63 meg. Infinity 1 is upto 52meg, Infinity 2 is upto 76meg.
Looking at My BT they have already updated the prices to take into account the new rise (cheeky!) so for Infinity 2 I would be paying £53.99 an increase of £3. If I drop to Infinity 1 it would be £47.49 which is actually a saving of £3.50 for slightly less speed. However would I get the full 52meg! Interesting.
