@shagamole same… but im getting at 30 june, cant wait…. UK is wayy too behind in internet speed….
@NETrevgadget hi are you conected via wifi or ethernet?
BT INFINITY ISN’T IN MY AREA! FUUUUUUCK!
You are so lucky to get it. BT fucken sucks. They are only giving us 2MB of download speeds and they don’t care about us because:
*we were the last village in our area to get broadband
*The chairman lives near us and he gets fiber
* They swap cables in our area (so if somebody complains the good cable goes to them and the shit cable goes to somebody else’s)
But people have voted for it and BT is just ignoring us. Also our council will not do anything.
I have Virgin ADSL Broadband, I have to say they are the worst for Broadband, whether ADSL or Fibre. At the time I was supposed to get 8mbps and all the time I was getting 512kbps.
i just switched to bt infinity and the speed difference i get to what i had before is amazing i was already with bt and i was getting 8 mb download and 0.5 upload now i am getting 42 download and 8 mb upload i definetly advise if your going to get broadband then look at this ive never had virgin media before so i cant make comparrison with them but i know that if you cant get virgin but you can get infinity definetly go with especially if there is more than 2 pcs in your house
I am thinking of getting Bt Infinity but i would like to know if any of you are using Infinity on your line but have your calls with a different provider say; sky, talktalk, o2, plusnet etc.
I would like to retain my calls with Sky as i have the Sky Talk Unlimited package on my line, it is cheaper for my household to call abroad. I pay line rental to BT so i have a BT line. Does anyone know with 100% certainty if this is possible?
(Other providers such as plusnet offer fibre only.)
Regards.
BTW what you do is you get the unlimited download tariff
Bt is the worst they cost so much
Virgin Media is the best
how can you compare when you werent even on fiber optic with virgin media this video is dumb
8gb is slow? try 0.5-1.5mb/s
bt neglected my road and did every road around me
I’m currently in a household which is with Virgin Media National, just like you were before you moved to Infinity. Infinity is coming to my local town in January 2013, so we have 1 year and 6 days to go! Virgin Media, like you said, provide the cable to your house. So we cannot continue with Virgin Media, as we are definitely going to Fibre Optic once available. Looks like I’m switching too!
virgin media sucks!
Before you were connected to BT Infinity, what was your expected connection speed? I’m due to go live on the 28th and my expected speed is 30mbps (60X faster than what I get at the minute!) I’m just curious as to how accurate BT’s estimates are. Cheers :0)
@NETrevgadget BT Infinity are coming to my house on the 28th of this month and they are going to install the Fibre Optics and replace the old cables. It seems pretty cool!
you think 6 – 8 mb/s is bad, I get 0.5 mb/s! :(
both are fibre to the cabinet
traffic management for virgin . solution download all your stuff from 9.30pm- to 9.30am,im on 10Mb and the capping is only like 5 hours and i get 3GB speed through the day . even if it gets capped to quarter of the speed it doesnt effect my gaming. if your on 50Mb you dont get any traffic management what so ever.. so if you like downloading tons of files.. then get that.
we know the sort of people that use BT lol snobby twaaaaaats! Virgin (ntl all the way) then i took an arrow in the knee
Sky.
That should also jump straight up without any struggling. I’m guessing that you tested your speed at the wrong time of the day (when it’s busy).
You’ve chosen the wrong server to test on. I always test on the ones down the South. I sometimes get bad latency pings and speeds with certain servers on there.
I have Virgin Media fibre optic service 30Mb and get 33Mb down and 3.17Mb up. As with any ADSL service, its going to be poor.
