A collegue just had BT Infinity fitted and is getting the below:



Pretty astonishing. Blows my previously impressive Virgin connection of of the window.

That surely can't be a FTTC job, althought I am aware of the London trials, I thought that service was currently at 80Mb/20Mb.  Recently upgraded to a FTTC Service over Christmas, went from 2/0.5 to 75Mb/18Mb

We're trialling FTTP @ 330mbps shortly

I've been looking for a while at BT infinity packages and have been looking at other providers who use wholesale BT FTTC such as Zen, Eclipse, Sky and a few others but they all work out similar prices to Virgin if not more and most have usage caps.

No FTTP at the moment though

Been getting 30mbps on my Virgin connection that should have been doubled to 60mbps, so I think I'm gonna have to call them.

I had the same problem mine should have been upgraded in Oct, decided to phone them up at the weekend, bloody useless they needed to remote access my computer to delete temporary files!!

Anyway turns out it was my DD-WRT router that for some reason was capping at pretty much exactly 30 Meg (Virgin router was running in modem mode) removed the DD-WRT router from the chain and now have 60 Meg

I downgraded from 100Mb to 30Mb (coz I'm f**king hardcore!) 

...or maybe just tight.

Its the 160mb fibre to the premesis (FTTP) service which is substantially over performing on what they promised. Only £35 a month as well. Crazy.

Limited availability at the moment.

Probably down to the amount of people on it, moreover the lack of. AS more people get on it, it will drop to their predicted numbers and then of course they will sit on it till its overloaded and we start the hardware update cycle again in years to come

Lol, probably wouldn't notice a difference speedwise with Virgin anyway.

wrong. Im on 100mbit & get 100mbit. I would jump in a shot if we had an alternative here, but BT check says Id be lucky to get 2mb - and as Nexus says, as soon as more people start using the BT, speeds will most likely degrade.
