elsiegee40 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Fibre gets installed 21st Jan....It is so exciting! Ours is still running well. Fingers crossed for you!
DMcCoy Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Fibre gets installed 21st Jan....It is so exciting! Had mine installed on 31st. I've gone from 4.5Mb/0.9 adsl to a massive 4.5Mb/0.6 on fttc. It's not always very good :/
mac_shinobi Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) (I see you're probably made your mind up however here's my input) There's a lot of hate for Sky broadband on the Internet but it's been excellent for me so far: - Very easy setup and a painless switch over. - Free Internet for 12 months (thank you very much!) and then £7.50 there on. - Broadband speed has doubled from 6 down to 12 down / 1 up. Considering I live in the sticks this is rather pleasing. - I've been downloading 200gb+ for the last few months (not sure how much others have been downloading but it'll be a lot as well) and no snotty emails / phone calls from Sky. Worth doing especially as my Broadband costs have gone from £35 with Eclipse to £0 With Sky now as well, Still got a few more days of the 'training period' with ref to broadband seeing as it is ADSL2+ afaik. Getting between 12mbps to 16mbps at the minute but may go faster as the letter I got from sky quoted between 12 to 19.2mbps so will soon find out. Not had any problems like I did with VM ref to traffic management / proxy servers causing video buffering etc So two thumbs up from me, oh and its saving me money, was paying about £60 a month, now paying about £50 per month ( obviously fluctuates depending on phone usage ) * Sky entertainment extra * Weekend only phone * Unlimited Broadband Edited January 3, 2013 by mac_shinobi
Poults Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Had mine installed on 31st. I've gone from 4.5Mb/0.9 adsl to a massive 4.5Mb/0.6 on fttc. It's not always very good :/ Ours fluctuated loads for the first few days, now it sits around 30-35 down and 10 up.
mac_shinobi Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Which Exchange does Irthlingborough use and can anyone tell me when BT Infinity will be installed or enabled at said exchange ? Tried the BT Infinity phone number / address checker thing but it didn't give me any useful info

Devontechie Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Which Exchange does Irthlingborough use and can anyone tell me when BT Infinity will be installed or enabled at said exchange ? Tried the BT Infinity phone number / address checker thing but it didn't give me any useful info @mac_shinobi try this.. SamKnows - Broadband Availability - Irthlingborough (EMIRTHL) Exchange 1
Netwacky87 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Poo! My missis currently pays £31 for 8mb/down (no idea up tbh) but thats with the phone line...No fibre in the area (apart from VM) Pants! Really want fibre! lol wonder if I can convince her to move.....
mac_shinobi Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 @mac_shinobi try this.. SamKnows - Broadband Availability - Irthlingborough (EMIRTHL) Exchange Is it FTTC that I need enabled / installed in order to get BT Infinity ( fibre through sky / bt ) ? Was with virgin media but lots of issues with them hence why im with sky now Thanks @stevehill06 1
mac_shinobi Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Irthlingborough uses Irthlingborough exchange Was just asking as am sure sam knows stated it was either wellingborough or rushden and just wanted to confirm. Although maybe thinking of a google search that showed that and not sam knows. Also thats only half an answer as asked when Fibre from BT would be available ( as think sky lease this from BT ) ?
synaesthesia Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Ah, theres no ETA on that at all. BT have no current plans to upgrade it. Best bet is to move to Rushden - literally one of the best connected towns in the entire country. That's my plan! (at least because Irthlingborough is an utter craphole primarily) I wouldn't expect to see FTTC here for a good many years. For high speed it's virgin only unfortunately. 1
