BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

Just done a speed test on my FTTP line, paying for 50mb download and 10mb upload. On a wired connection through the BT Hub, can't complain about this. WiFi is a different story though.

How much are you paying for that out of interest? And what are your FTTC speeds supposed to be in comparison?

I'm paying £28 for this. I went for the 50mb because it is only me living here, although I am starting to find that with all my devices online, I could probably benefit from increasing it slightly.

I've just put my address into the Openreach website and it said there is Full Fibre up to 1 Gbps - if that's what you mean? :)

That's a fairly reasonable price.

I meant normal FTTC as in copper cable to your house still.

Ah, I'm not sure, sorry. It's a brand new house so was pre-cabled with fibre. I'm not even sure it has a copper cable to be honest? On the fibre box (not the router) under the stairs, there is an output to a telephone that I suspect may be coming through the fibre cable.
 
New build sites that have FTTP won't have any copper installed, and Openreach will not deploy copper either. Currently your choice of ISP is BT and Zen, but it might be worth waiting for Sky to get involved with FTTP to see what the pricing comes in at.

Sky are doing FTTP but only up to 150mb and price is £39pm

Ah that makes sense! Was trying to get my head around why you'd have FTTP for a 50mb connection, but if that's your only connection then it makes sense :)

Isn't that just g.fast rather than fibre to the property?

I've just checked a site that I know FTTP exists on, and Sky aren't showing as being able to service it, so it looks like Sky Ultrafast (at least the version you can order from their website) is only Gfast.

Ahh ok that makes sense, I just saw it advertised on Sky, and figured that must be their FTTP package. Every time I check for availability on the site it crashes...
 
Yeah I've been having some outages on my Virgin connection - only like 2 minutes then back again though.

Streaming has been OK but I've had 4x 2 minute disconnections since 4pm and some sporadic instances where videos have gone pixelated for 5-10 seconds (normally pretty much never happens) so obviously bandwidth dropping out.
