BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

All the DNS changing apps seems to require root (unless there's a new one now that doesn't require it). Currently using Set DNS and it works pretty well.
 
Wish sky would have fibre pro on the website so i could use that! Think its time i upgraded though as i pay ~£25 odd a month for 02 ADSL2+ and my fibre is estimated 80/20 as the cab is 30 foot away!
 
Yes as mentioned above, you cant change DNS on the HH3, and not all of my other devices support it.
Either way it should be sorted by BT, i shouldn't have to work around something that needs to be working.
 
3 lines ordered. 2 are transfers from another ISP. They cancelled 2 orders without telling me and now that I have 2 out of the three lines on Fibre they tell me that there is nothing they can do about one of them being on a 40/2 profile. The other line went in fine on a 40/10....

I have heard everything from "its the settling in period" (its not, the upload profile won't change) to "our system shows you on a 40/10 profile to "I'll just pop you on hold".

BT are a shower of absolute **** where I have never found such incompetence. From account managers who know **** all about the products they are supposed to sell to "support" desks who know little about the products they are supposed to support. Perhaps if they spent a little more time learning the product instead of learning fob off excuses they would have a better reputation.

I knew this would happen and even warned my manager not to rely on BT at all, but alas, they never change. They even show the same level of sheer incompetence when dealing with the Welsh Government too, so I suppose they are at least consistent.
 
when we had ours installed a month later another engineer turned up to installed it lol!!!

Ive got a spare black hub thing.............anyone know if they can be used for anything else or a wireless repeater?
 
My exchange was luckily one of those set for Phase 10b and has been much been completed now, and is due to start accepting orders next month. Pretty much all of the cabs have been done, but my village is almost 5 miles away and I expected us to be waiting til the end of the year before we could get it.

But, on the way home from work today, I got in to the village and saw this bad boy ...

A couple of utility vans tidying up the mess they had made of the road, and an Openreach engineer with his kit tinkering - I asked him if it was the FTTC and he confirmed it was, I asked if it would be ready for next month when the exchange went live and he said back end of next week

Fingers crossed! Hopefully will get the choice of BT or Sky when it goes live.

TBH I'd shop around ISPs before making a decision. I know I won't be signing up with BT if/when my cabinet goes live (roll on May!). Their customer service can be as bad as Virgin's. :(


EDIT:

How far is that box from your PCP?
 
I assumed that once the exchange is enabled with fibre, that the only people to offer services was those already in there providing ADSL/LLU services (currently BT, Sky, and TalkTalk) or does enabling the exchange with fibre allow/attract more providers to get in there?

Mine has been steady for months. Been very stable with no drop outs.

That's similar to what someone on talk talk FTTC said so I guess it maybe my connection then. Are you using the HH3? Unfortunately it seems I still have the worst bit of copper from my old full length line.

Yes still using the white openreach modem and the black HH3.
 
I'm trying to download some stuff over SFTP on port 22, and it looks like BT are throttling me to 1.3MB/s when I can get 7.5MB/s normally

Any way round this?
