BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

John24 · 26 Aug 2011 at 20:39

<-- 0.5 meters exactly. The cab backs onto bushes where I have built a shed and moved in. Though untill I can get some fiber terminating equipment to bypass the MSAN, I'm stuck with the 40Mb cap. LOL

60 Meters straight line.
220 Meters going down the middle of the road to the DP and then my house.
300 Meters acording to the engineers JDSU. Which is probably about right because we are up a hill.

Ali line with 40/10 sync, 38717/10000 profile and 37.5/8Mb throughput.

I'm desperate for 20Mb/s upstream.

Donkeyfumbler · 27 Aug 2011 at 16:21

Blimey - what are you wanting to do that needs 20mb upstream?

TheOtherOption · 29 Aug 2011 at 09:53

Am getting excited about this being made available in December as have seen what can only be the infinity cab newly installed about ~100m up the road so should get top notch speeds

is there any issues with newsgroups and BT fibre? is there any download limit?

Ah, I remember Bittorrent from the dim and distant past. Didn't realise anyone was still using it

Had an interesting issue that BT support actually solved :eek:

. So my connection was intermittent, first time since Infinity was installed so i assumed it was them, apparently adding 2 touchpads to the wireless was enough to near kill the router and had to do a hard reset and input all my settings again. Now considering a new router.

what are good alternatives to the standard home hub that gets sent with a bt infinity install?

FlippinEck · 29 Aug 2011 at 21:43

Just got BT Internet put into my new flat, first time using them having previously used VirginMedia. Not too happy with this 10 days for my internet to settle garbage before I get a decent speed but I'll have to wait it out. Getting a wireless adapter aswell to connect to my homehub for my pc and the TP-Link High Gain from OC is looking very tasty!

I've been using a NETGEAR Router WNR3500L as a replacement and it's much better for me over the HH3, especially being able to use QoS and better wireless speeds/coverage.

46 days connected (been constantly connected since day1)

True, but I had kind of assumed all of us here were well ahead of the curve...............

DirtyJester · 30 Aug 2011 at 15:47

DOH ! Had to change my install day as I messed up with the date, now due for Monday 12th

Oh well ...

Rroff · 30 Aug 2011 at 15:50

tbh uploading that much on a residential connection is taking the mick a bit and half the reason we end up with traffic management and crappy packages in the first place

Egon · 30 Aug 2011 at 15:51

My install set for Wednesday 7th

Leaving Sky behind and my amazing 2mb connection.

Taking the mick a bit ? 1.5TB? How can you legally justify that mate and pay so little per month.Im glad your not on my local cab. And tbh and if you continue to rip the arse out of infinity then everyone else will soon find thier net being slowed to a crawl because of 0.1% of selfish people like you.

Seriously catch yourself on!

It's no problem if you go with a decent ISP and pay a reasonable amount. My ISP will never introduce traffic management.

He can transfer as much as he likes. Blame BT Infinity for introducing "unlimited".
