will it be in the winsford cheshire area anytime soon ?

[Mr. Lime]

So not long.

whats the point in testing 200 and 400mb speeds when places like where i am

dont even have access to relaible 8meg broadband

i get like 2.8

why not get everyone to the same point then start advancing

[joker3327]

will it be in the winsford cheshire area anytime soon ?

I'm in Crewe in cheshire..... got to the BT infinity site, type your postecode or Tele number in the box and it should tell you...

My tiny village of 1500 people has 3 votes for infinity.

I only voted once, can't think of ANYONE who would even know what 'fibre' is in my area.

[joker3327]

Lol it was me ...sat here in Crewe ....that started the thread .....at home......after they just installed it....so yeah they have fibre in Crewe.... :)

[watercooled]

how long has it been available there ?
whats your postcode ?

[joker3327]

how long has it been available there ?
whats your postcode ?

It was available last Wed... I ordered on Thursday and it was installed today....when I work out how I will PM you my Postcode

[watercooled]

wow wont be long for winsford then

i think i get a cooling off period with sky dont no how long though

[joker3327]

Just done a quick check on a winsford number....

31-December-2010 is when it will be available

[watercooled]

do you notice any difference when surfing

[joker3327]

OH YEAH......everything seems slicker.....faster page refreshes.... and the thread on her full of GIFs just loads!!

[Mr. Strawberry]

15 votes out of a total of 11,049
lol
hmm cant be long now
according to bt they have no idea when it will hit here
another thing to shout at them about tomorrow

[watercooled]

how do you see how many votes ?

[sneeker]

We can get it in oldham, which is great, as the estimated speeds are 23.1 down, 10mb up :D
Only thing is, their FUP is about as vague as a foggy thing in some fog.. But Im considering it tbh.

Best thing is, my mates about 5 miles from me, on the edge of rochdale, and it predicts his line speed as 4.5mb, which is what I get on a good day with o2.

[Mr. Lime]

Just done a quick check on a winsford number....

31-December-2010 is when it will be available

it doesnt give me a date?

where did you find that?

[Mr. Strawberry]

+1 on that

[joker3327]

it doesnt give me a date?

where did you find that?

If you follow the link I posted earlier ...then on the right hand side it says enter your phone number...... it will list the Broadband speeds...... and under that it will list your expected speed and date available for Infinity...

[Aaron]

I think it only lists your infinity date if they have any plans to enable your exchange... Infinity doesnt show on mine either.. Only BT Total Broadband, up to 8mb..

[Mr. Strawberry]

doesnt even list infinity for me :/

[k3vst3r]

doesnt even list infinity for me :/

then you have a long wait :p

[joker3327]

If it doesnt list then there should be a link to race for infinity lol....basically BT are looking to see which locations get the most votes before rolling out more.....

Sorry chaps!

[watercooled]

how can you see how many votes ?

[k3vst3r]

how can you see how many votes ?

possibly by voting yourself then it saying how many votes have been cast in your area?

[watercooled]

had my sky broadband for 4 days i am tempted to ditch and get bt broadband as infinity is in my area decemeber 2010

what do you think i should do ?

[Bigian88]

check what services you may already be able get with virgin: http://shop.virginmedia.com/home.html

[watercooled]

virgin says not in my area

[joker3327]

check what services you may already be able get with virgin: http://shop.virginmedia.com/home.html

Must admit...if Virgin was in my area I would have switched ages ago....

[wonderlust]

200mb tests are currently being trialled in Kent last I heard, and 400mb is currently in the works

Shame my town doesn't have any cable at all :(

[watercooled]

ok signed up for bt option 2 its £7.49 a month for 40gb allowence.

bt infininty to go live in my area in december 2010 so will swap over to unlimited

whoop whoop

later sky...

[SilveR_172]

Like with the OLD BT Broadband do you have a 40 GB per month limit ?

[joker3327]

Like with the OLD BT Broadband do you have a 40 GB per month limit ?

No its unlimited....which we all know means fair usage policy but that state 300gb per month..

[sneeker]

Im trying to get a definate figure, as considering going to infinity (and beyond!)
100gb's been mention, 300gb has been mentioned and someone on the chat thing said 80gb...
300gb would be fine for me :D I can probably manage 100gb on my 4mb line sometimes.

[joker3327]

The 300gb figure is word of mouth from the Engineer that installed my Infinity.... The BT Fair usage policy states

BT Total Broadband Option 3 and BT Infinity Option 2 allow unlimited downloads and uploads within the monthly rental price, so customers on these products will not be charged for over-use. However, this does not preclude BT from reducing your speed if you are a heavy user in order to protect the experience for the rest of our customers.

[gray.woodford]

Have many of you switched to BT Infinty? is it any good?

I currently live above some shops so can not get virgin fibre and i am with O2 broadband, i currently get 2meg!! So i am very interested in the infinity but i have BT broadband in the past and they are pretty crap on the whole, just wondering if the infinity service was any better?

As i live above some shops do you think i will be able to get it when they go live in my area on 31st december?(i be that date changes) They reakon i can get 20meg from the online checker so that would be awesome for what i have had to put up with for years.

I just dont want to be tied in to a long contract with bt again if the service is going to be crap but if my speeds do improve it will be worth it.

Any customer feedback would be appreciated. thanks

BT Infinity = BT FTTC???



BT FTTC broadband availability
You are connected to the Woodley telephone exchange.

FTTC should be available in your area from 31/12/2010


i look forward to next year... :D

My friend who works for OpenReach and looks after the Earley and Woodley installs told me a couple of weeks ago that the necessary has already been done in the exchange I'm connected to, but as it's less that 200yards from my house I don't know if I'll bother upgrading on the first round :) Which exchange are you connected to?

DT.

[VJ]

just got mine today .. :D
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1032770866.png (http://www.speedtest.net)
as soon as i got back from school i got 38.2 Down and 8.5 Up...

Game and web hosting me thinks.. :D

[DoubleTop]

I had the sales call offering me it yesterday, for the same price as option3 broadband. Slight issue is that for this 12month contract they priced matched to retain me and that 'offer' of infinity would cost me £8 a month!

Hoping for the call for the office though, that's a different equation :D

DT.

[Mr. Strawberry]

[unreel2002]

Hmm should I do it ?>? Seems its available now...

Whats kind of router do you get ??

BT Infinity http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumer/consumerProducts/images/eoi/icon_tooltip.gifFibre optic broadbandYou can get fibre optic broadband with speeds of up to 40Mb now.35.2Mb download
7.5Mb uploadNowLearn more (http://www.bt.com/infinity)
BT always give you the best speed possible on your line. The speed prediction we have given here is an estimate. The actual speed is dependent on several factors such as whether you have internal wiring, our network management policy and the number of people using the internet at the same time. Speeds can be lower in the evening at peak times. Please note that availability for BT Infinity is an estimate only when entering your postcode and house number.

I currently have BE ADSL2 24MB, really not sure if this is worth another £7 a month and tied to an 18 month contract ?

Current connection syncs at 23.5Mb and 1.3Mb up hmmmm

[Jackster]

It's worth it for me as the upload rate is high, depends on what you do with your internet....

[sneeker]

Im currently on o2.. get 4mb down 1mb up.... with infinity I would get 23mb down 10mb up....

So, 17.50 more for a faster package, apart from the problems that are its bt, so customer service isnt their strong point, and they are very cagey about the unlimitedness of it....

So Im tempted, but also put off by the fact that they wont tell me what I want to know... although I have found that as they said its unlimited over the phone after I asked about fair use, then they have to honour that.

[Mr. Strawberry]

It's worth it for me as the upload rate is high, depends on what you do with your internet....
my current upload is 0.09Mbit :/

no way dude, im thinking exactly the same. Im on o2 and have 2 mb dl and 1mb ul, was thinking of infinty but as you said its BT!!! have tried the bt broadband and that was crap!! but if they can offer me faster speeds it may be worth it.

Have you read about the fair use policy on the website? Interesting read

[Jackster]

Do you get static IPs with BT?

PlusNet are trialing with Fiber but im not shore it's static.

[Mr. Strawberry]

no idea
on the phone now about my slower than normal download and upload speed

[iGoD ReLeNtLeS]

you have to phone up and normally pay extra for a static if you want/need it :thumb:

[DoubleTop]

with nearly every router having a built in dyndns or no-ip page, I can't see the point of static ips for the home to be honest.

DT.

[M4T VW]

Ive just moved to BT for my business and lost the static IP so now using no-ip.
For some reason only dyndns is in my router so am using the no-ip DUC client on my server.

If i set it up properly on my router would this cut the client out?

yes mate, I have accounts on both for the same reason, I don't thing I've seen a router with no-ip for some time now, they all seem to have dyndns now. I prefer to use the router as it's a right pain if the machine running the client falls off and the ip changes :(

Damn! Stupid that you cant choose another DNS host.

Might need a Dyndns account:(

Edit, How do i put the port in? Ive changed my RD port but cant seem to put that into the DNS setup.

Edit again, Idiot! Just add the port after the hostname:o

[Nomad2k3]

mine has 218 out of 5354

No infinity for me, gutted cos it cost the same price as what im paying now :(

[winstonngo]

im considerin gettin bt infinity. On the website it says u need 2 power sockets near the master socket? Why?
Ive always had the router connected to an extension cable splitter comin from the master socket. Is this ok?
Also, what kinda cable is used to connect to the pc? Is it still a normal ethernet cable?

[joker3327]

You have two boxes with infinity one is a fibre modem the other is the home hub....the fibre comes into your house connects to the modem which connects to the hub ( for wifi) you can connect 2 normal Ethernet cables to the modem... Or a router

[winstonngo]

Does it actually need to be a power supply right next to the master socket? Currently i have my router, pc etc plugged in at a different room

[sneeker]

I was considering it, but I can't bring myself to pull my mum and dads house to bits to run the cable... so sticking with o2 for now

[joker3327]

An extention lead would do just fine....

You dont have to... the engineers came to mine...looked at what was in place and decided to leave it and just run another cable from outside along the back wall and into my computer room...

I wonder is BE are caching somewhere ....

guy at BT told me any lines can support 100MB and over but they turn it down to an average of 40MB so its stable.

he said some are this speed at first but soon get turned down

BT have been calling me pretty much everyweek to get me to migrate to Infinity, free this, free that etc etc.

I've just found out why when helping a friend who has moved in. The standard ADSL at the exchange is now at capacity, so the broadband order he has placed has been rejected :eek: Last call from BT they price matched to my current plan ... and that's already price matched to Sky standard!

guy at BT told me any lines can support 100MB and over but they turn it down to an average of 40MB so its stable.

he said some are this speed at first but soon get turned down
Infinity is vdsl isn't it?

Are BT being sneaky? Installing vdsl2 mini dslams but restricting you to vdsl speeds! Bah, I can probably throw a stone from my house and hit my local cabinet its that close.

No infinity but have short copper distance to the potential mini dslam :cry

Not VDSL (its not over copper twisted pair ) its FTTC (Fiber optic )

Not VDSL (its not over copper twisted pair ) its FTTC (Fiber optic )

It's both.

Fibre runs from the exchange to your street cabinet where it terminates and continues on as copper cables in the form of VDSL.

Did not think they used dslams for fiber ? Thought they used fomc's ( fiber optic media convectors )

Just had the bt people round, great speeds. No more waiting for steam to download games and I hope this will stop me getting disconnected when online gaming.:)
The speeds are fluctuating abit at the moment though, I'm getting between 25Mb/s and 43Mb/s. Should calm down in a few days though.
