At the beginning of the month I was getting 36MB/s, since we joined BT Infinity. At the moment though, I am down to 2MB/s, I have no idea why. I am not using the internet more than I normally do.
BT Infinity rocks. Just had mine installed and already I've jumped from 8mb to 28.74mb download speed. The guy reckons once it settles in I will get anything up to 40mb. To be honest I'm happy with just 28.74...fucking brilliant.
Sure 40Mb/10Mb is fast especially compared to my 6Mb/1Mb connection. But BT ALWAYS start conservative and slowly make their way to a technologies potential. The technology has a theoretical limit of 250Mb so there's still a ways to go to fully utilize the FTTC tech. I think BT said they are going to offer 80Mb next year and my area should be upgraded by then, so I hope to get that service ASAP =).
@johnat112 err.. I'm 99% sure he's wrong. BT and Virgin have their own fibre networks respectively. I'm planning on moving to something called Digital Region which is another privately owned network in my area. You can see where they've layed all the fibre ducts to cabinets in my area. It's a big job.
Got BT infinity but not with BT, they throttle you to hell, I'm using eclipse internet, anyone looking to get bt I'd go for eclipse internet or zen. They both use bt's FTTC fibre network just dont throttle like BT do
So glad I live in a fibre area, yes this speed is fast enough for most people at the moment...BT infinity's top service is only slightly faster than Virgin's mid-range service - the trouble is most people on ADSL can't achieve a speed more than about 8mbit which these days isn't fast enough for households if a couple of people are watching iplayer, youtube or playing on xbox live...the ADSL infrastructure needs to be upgraded fast
1.pc.laptop too much on it have found this to be the case many a time and people dont check get higher speed and end up with same problem ,2. wireless (they do an all in one unit now much better then two units but allways best plugged in 3.signal levels and the isolator (box on inside where comes in from outside)sometimes techs knock your signal down as not enough high signal ports due to being lazy
yea copper from cabinet this does not make much difference as some times you have to turn signal down you have two parts of signal with virgin the first is 128.000 which should be showing 5db and you have another which is 666.750 which should be -5db this is the best signal and the way it should be set up the signals should have a 10 gap not to close together and not to spread out ,make sure the guy does this as sometimes they are lazy (not sure about bts signals)
had infinity 16 days started off 37meg download and 7.4meg up now it is peaky as hell any where from 11meg/32meg and 3meg /5meg up load. and it will not stream 1080hd video from the likes of youtube or bbc i player and thats 10am in the morning not peak times. my old 7meg off of them was smoother by a long way. bt engineer back out on monday i will keep you informed of his visit
@3333gavin lots of people not happy with it when you web search even when mine is pulling 36meg it still struggles with playing 1080 hd videos on the web . computer is quad core 4 gb ram 2400 clock speed
@3333gavin my son runs his xbox360 wireless online gaming which runs on normal broadband anyway so infinity makes no odds to that . i had the open-reach engineer out and showed him. his gear said it was 37meg but it obviously there is more to it that speed as i showed him . 10 o clock in the morning you would think a hd video would not need to buffer 5 to 6 times for a 10 min film you can see it loading dead fast then it stops then slows then dead fast again , no way 37meg lol . exchange fault
@3333gavin yes but it is very peaky if you test it properly and it still dies at peak time. when we get fibre from the cabinet that's when it will be fast and less throttled back . virgin and some private companies use fibre all the way if you are lucky enough to live in an area with it laid down
@anth69y My BT infinity is perfect, I get 37meg down and 8meg up 24/7, regardless of the time. Plus it peaks to around 45meg down when downloading from steam and I'm only meant to be getting 40mb, so it's great for me. I can stream 1080 hd videos with no problems at all.
@philonline31 had the engineer out he tested it said i was indeed getting38mg but i showed him what i meant when it keeps buffering hd video and also the speed tester needle bouncing all over the place . he changed the white openreach box which made no difference and said he would report it and have them look into the exchange. 1 month on it is way better but i would not say perfect , there is obviously more to it than raw speed . as for the bt call centre 0 openreach10/10
that's unacceptable, BT do say it takes up to 10 days to sabilize the line, something to do with profiles. You need to call BT and tell them your Infinity speeds are way-off !
All I can get is 6.0Mb, our router is crazy when 2 computers are online to the router, it shares out the connection, so 3.0Mb each, not like the other one gets 4Mb and the other gets 2Mb, when 4 computers online, 1.5Mb shares out, when 6 comps are online 1mb is to each computer, so when like 12 comps are online, 0.5Mb is shared out, by the way my family only got like 4 comps and 3 laptops.
I've been on 512K for years as i live miles away from the exchange! Terrible! I'm currently waiting for my MAC code from Virgin to switch to BT Infinity and they've estimated my speed at 30mb down which is unbelievable to what i'm used to lol.
got to say as a virgin engineer thats not what i expected to see from bt pretty good i know they are installing the fibre ops but thats were it comes in the road not by pole and it still cost a bomb to connect . virgin are still the best by a mile if its installed right that is as some crap engineers give the company a bad name my advise stick with virgin 200 m out soon gonna blow bt out the water but that is good speeds for bt if your not in virgin area must admit
They say i will get it on December 31st....yeah right, probably jan or even feb by the time i actually get it, and i know its free for me but does anyone think i will have more problems WITH the 40mb than if i just kept to the 8mb package?..I am on xbox live playing black-ops and other online games and thats the only reason im looking forward to the upgrade but seriously i just need to know if anyone else has experienced problems with high speed connections?, thanks in advance for any replies :)
Hi everyone just a quick question, i have had the 8mb package for nearly 3 years now and was told by BT that the upgrade to the fibre optic broadband speed will be free, even though i have had no problems with the 8mb i was wondering if the 40mb will cause problems?...I ask because i know people that already have it and they say they have problems with such a high speed. I get nowhere near the 8mb and never have but it seems fine with 2 PC's a laptop and going on xbox live it all works fine.
@3333gavin: I'm in Argyll, Scotland. Don't know if we're eligible for this, but BT's been doing an "Open reach" programme for a good few months now, so after this video I'll give them a shout. Cheers, mate!
@DarrenHuseyin1 Again someone else confusing megabits and megabytes. A megabyte is one eighth of a megabit - so a 40 megabit per second download would = 5 megabytes per second.
Getting this next friday. A bit lower than what was showed in the video because of my distance from my exchange, but they confirmed it will be 33mbps download and 7.8mbps upload. I CANNOT WAIT
getin mine in 22nd of nov, check wat speeds i will be gettin and its 40mb and 12.5upload :D i couldnt beleave my place in northern ireland was getin so happy
If you go google racetoinfnity click on the top BT link and you can vote to have Infinity in your area. They HAVE to eventually do it anyway to meet EU rules stating you will get around 30mbps everywhere but that's not for a few years yet I think. Wish I bloody had it, only got BT's kit in the exchange and a good copper line but stuck at 448k and 8meg!! How much does Infinity cost you a month?
@3333gavin i was calculating virgins medias 50mb broadband with 5mb upload will cost me £26.33 a month average with phone line inc (and quidco discounte 65pounds). so i might go for that instead as bt infinity is coming out in may in my area :(
Can i just ask what was your speed when you first got it, as i just had mine installed and im only getting around 20 meg, yet the engineer said i should be getting 40. my upload is over 8 meg though so im wondering if it needs to settle
@3333gavin plus virgin media @ 50mb dont cap ur speeds like bt doo which is fucking hell. because my current virgins medias 20mb gets caped:(. and i was reading bt also has fair useage policy so they cap speed aswell if you download too much, but with virgin medias 50mb broadband you are treated as vip and no caps at all so 50mb download 24/7 non stop :)
Ive got BT Infinity, (I was on BT Total Broadband getting 1.5 to 2.5mb), they gave me an estimate of 15.2mb downstream, but in actual fact I got between 30-38mb downstream, and can get somewhere between 7 and 8.5mb upstream
3333gavin if you think this is fast then you should move to Bournemouth and try out their 100mb fibre to the home service by Fibreband. Used it while I stayed there and downloaded something at 11mb/s haha.
@luanswan2002 we use what we have available, i don't plan to move house for a faster speed, this speed is more than enough for me atm but thanks for the comment me guesses...
@kesterwww well i dont live near an exchange, mine is about a mile away, and i get this speed, my estimate was 22.5 and look what i get the lowest spped i get is 20mb and thats on wireless
@kesterwww With Infinity, its the distance to your Local Street Cabinet which is the limiting factor, NOT the distance to the exchange. Infinity will be worth it.
only for the lucky few!! BT have a map of where the exchanges are planned for the upgrade. and guess what. majority of them are in and around london only a few outside. guess the person who plans where they deploy it is a southener.
wow thats amazing my estemate is 18.5mb and upload 8.30 i think which is cool since i only get 5.5 md download and 0.30 mb upload which is fail but yea i hope i get like atleast 35mb download or somet but if not ahwell 18 will do haha cant wait for this wont be available in my area till the end of december :(
What did the BT website estimate your BT infinity speed at? I'm meant to be getting it round my area and by the looks of it, I might just make the 15+meg minimum. But other houses are getting estimations of around 18meg and I'm told that they estimate about 10meg's lower than it's meant to be?
@BlackPheonix81 my estimated speed was 22.5 meg down and 5 meg up so yer a guess they do estimate about 10 lower than you will probably get, thanks for the comment :)
I really really wish BT would install fibre in my town. It's frustrating to have slow speeds. When my brother is downloading, it gets even worst. What I need is simple... BT Infinity that is.
@Gamerwillz its not full fibre optic its adsl+2 which is fibre optic from the exchange to the cabinet in your street then it joins to your existing copper wire to your house. in the future some homes where possible will get optic from cabinet into house with speeds up to 60/70meg . saying that some internet sites just don't run quick no matter what you have
@o0Te0zJTAG0o i pay £25 a month and this speed is actually quite slow for infinity, but it will do me my friend who lives a mile away gets around 90MB down
@jameslaw42396 no, this is fiber and the max is 100mb, but with me living far from the server i get less but the closer you are to the server the less distance the connection is on copper wire so its faster
@jameslaw42396 there 40mb is based on connections like mine where am about 2 miles from the server, my friend is about 100m away so thats where the speed comes from i guess
casulty or holby cant remember

@3333gavin plus virgin media @ 50mb dont cap ur speeds like bt doo which is fucking hell. because my current virgins medias 20mb gets caped:(. and i was reading bt also has fair useage policy so they cap speed aswell if you download too much, but with virgin medias 50mb broadband you are treated as vip and no caps at all so 50mb download 24/7 non stop :)

@3333gavin what???
huzaifah666 1 year ago
Ive got BT Infinity, (I was on BT Total Broadband getting 1.5 to 2.5mb), they gave me an estimate of 15.2mb downstream, but in actual fact I got between 30-38mb downstream, and can get somewhere between 7 and 8.5mb upstream

3333gavin if you think this is fast then you should move to Bournemouth and try out their 100mb fibre to the home service by Fibreband. Used it while I stayed there and downloaded something at 11mb/s haha.

@luanswan2002 we use what we have available, i don't plan to move house for a faster speed, this speed is more than enough for me atm but thanks for the comment me guesses...

I currently get 11-15 Mbps, living near the exchange, bt estimate 21 Mbps if I get infinity. Is it worth it? Or do they underestimate?
kesterwww 1 year ago
@kesterwww well i dont live near an exchange, mine is about a mile away, and i get this speed, my estimate was 22.5 and look what i get the lowest spped i get is 20mb and thats on wireless
3333gavin 1 year ago
@kesterwww With Infinity, its the distance to your Local Street Cabinet which is the limiting factor, NOT the distance to the exchange. Infinity will be worth it.

@lacokakid look on my wireless speed test :) and yerp it does :D
3333gavin 1 year ago
only for the lucky few!! BT have a map of where the exchanges are planned for the upgrade. and guess what. majority of them are in and around london only a few outside. guess the person who plans where they deploy it is a southener.

What did the BT website estimate your BT infinity speed at? I'm meant to be getting it round my area and by the looks of it, I might just make the 15+meg minimum. But other houses are getting estimations of around 18meg and I'm told that they estimate about 10meg's lower than it's meant to be?
BlackPheonix81 1 year ago
@BlackPheonix81 my estimated speed was 22.5 meg down and 5 meg up so yer a guess they do estimate about 10 lower than you will probably get, thanks for the comment :)

I really really wish BT would install fibre in my town. It's frustrating to have slow speeds. When my brother is downloading, it gets even worst. What I need is simple... BT Infinity that is.

@Gamerwillz its not full fibre optic its adsl+2 which is fibre optic from the exchange to the cabinet in your street then it joins to your existing copper wire to your house. in the future some homes where possible will get optic from cabinet into house with speeds up to 60/70meg . saying that some internet sites just don't run quick no matter what you have

How much do you pay a month?
o0Te0zJTAG0o 1 year ago
@o0Te0zJTAG0o i pay £25 a month and this speed is actually quite slow for infinity, but it will do me my friend who lives a mile away gets around 90MB down
3333gavin 1 year ago
@3333gavin how the hell does your friend get 90MB the max is 40 isnt it?
jameslaw42396 1 year ago
@jameslaw42396 no, this is fiber and the max is 100mb, but with me living far from the server i get less but the closer you are to the server the less distance the connection is on copper wire so its faster
3333gavin 1 year ago
@3333gavin no its not, 40mb down 10mb up, or does he have a business connection or something?
jameslaw42396 1 year ago
@jameslaw42396 I have no idea, all i know is that he is with BT and gets 90MB down, so if the max you can get is 40MB then yer he must i guess???
3333gavin 1 year ago
@jameslaw42396 there 40mb is based on connections like mine where am about 2 miles from the server, my friend is about 100m away so thats where the speed comes from i guess
3333gavin 1 year ago
@3333gavin Is that just for internet or do you get Calls and tv? I have bt vision so calls and internet are included
o0Te0zJTAG0o 1 year ago
@o0Te0zJTAG0o well my mam gets calls, so i guess its for internet and calls :)
