Works great in Fx 3.5 and IE8 here.

Good to hear that they have ISPs for it now though!

Hi foreverwar,

What browser are you using? I am using Google Chrome and it seems to be OK, however I will need to get that checked out if it is causing problems on a particular browser.

At work, IE7 under XP.

Fine at home under Vista Ultimate with IE8.

@FibrecityBmouth

Have you got an idea of when work will start in the "BH7 6" region of Bournemouth?

mr_bo · 29-09-2009, 09:39

From the bloke down the pub (well actually a work colleague

) who had a rep from Fibrecity on his doorstep last night:-

2 weeks for his install date
Major announcement next week from Fibrecity
100mb guaranteed, tests in Paddington Grove (if any one knows it) have achieved 500mb - but obviously a test
BT / Sky are in the forground but still open to tenders
Nothing on pricing yet

We wait with anticipation...

jrhnewark · 29-09-2009, 17:04

Nothing on pricing - surprise, surprise. I can't see this happening.

It would take a lot more than 100Mbps for me to move to Bournemouth. I can survive on Vodafone mobile broadband for a night - can you imagine what it would take for a lifetime?

Boring place!

Well surely fibrecity need to secure an isp before pricing can be decided as your hard earned pennies will go to the isp?

Had a phone call yesterday from fibrecity (some1 else tooked the call)
saying that they will be coming to install it this month or something

im in the BH9 area

FibrecityBmouth · 21-10-2009, 14:49

@Smilie

I think the person taking the call for you may have got the wrong end of the stick or something was wrongly explained to them. We are currently working in the BH11 area at the moment and BH9 will not be connected for a few months yet.

Our team are currently doing surveys in lots of areas, to go through the cable route and box placement at the property, so I would imagine this is what the call was with regards to. If you want to PM me with your address I can chase the call up for you to find out exactly what was said.

I hope this clears things up.

Smilie · 21-10-2009, 16:14

cool thanks
i'll send u a PM

also want to ask a question

if this call is about a survey and placement in my area
do i have to be at my house to tell them the placement of the box to my house??
as the call didn't give us a specifict day
i won't know if some1 will be home at the time

or is this just a courtesy call so i'll know some1 might be poking around my house??

FibrecityBmouth · 21-10-2009, 16:35

No problem Smilie, I am chasing this up for you.

You, or the home owner if that isn't you, will need to be at the property during the survey to let the surveyor know where you would like the box and to make sure you are happy with the work we will do.

They should try and find out the best time to catch you in, however they will not necessarily give a specific time slot so you are not waiting if they cannot make it right on time. If you are not in they will come back until they catch you in so no need to worry. No work will be done without this survey being signed by the home owner as confirmation.

They dug up the pavement just across the road while I was gone and I went and had a nosey earlier and there's a duct lid saying H2O networks, can anyone from FibreCity confirm what this means exactly? Pavement was dug up on Bournemouth Road BH14 outside Sainsburys Local

Shouldn't be so nosey.
