VM/Ntl/whatever have rested on their laurals for ages, treating the subs like muck, because they knew they were the only game in town for fast BB. They are still behaving in the same way but now they are just one Company amongst many. I expect the penny will drop eventually but by that time it might be too late. |
Re: The end is nigh
Get them round to test your signal levels, apparently the modems run best at -6db to -8db and Tivo at 0db, also chack All F conectors, plus if you have abrown drop cable going to the box it may be that.

I would get Infinity now but when I had ADSL I was always having problems with the line between home and the pole even though BT had strung a new line with the introduction of ADSL. |

Re: The end is nigh
introduction of ADSL? so you didnt get rewiring for a fault. it was a fresh install. that must of been done a while back. You sure they didnt mess anything up during install?
did you mean your waiting for BT FTTC ? |

No, BT FTTP fibre to the premises, I don't want to know telephone wires after the hassle with adsl. I was reading that BT have come up with a solution whereby they connect fibre to the cabinet which means that they are going to be able to roll it out much sooner than they originally planned. |

I meant if its that old didnt you ask for a repull or have them check the cables? From whats been said on here FTTP will cost you a bit. If your willing to pay thats up to you but if i was you and BT infinity was available to you id get in touch with them explain your previous issues, not VM. and say youll join if they sort you out a new repull from the cabinet. you could then try sneak in if they agree a repull for FTTP. wont be part of the free install but if they agree to a repull then paying extra for the change in cables might not be as much. MAYBE! no harm in trying. |

I know how you feel slow... VM are big users of the "play stupid" until we upgrade UBR's. i.e. don't try to fix tough problems at all and just brush them under the carpet until the UBR is upgraded, hence why people had months of problems on the official forums.

Broadband option Broadband speed range 56.9Mb download 20.0Mb upload When you can get it Now BT installed a new big cabinet together with a small one a few metres from my pole, I remember they also installed a new cable to the box at the time, was about 3 years ago. Overall I am about 1 1/4 miles from the exchange but only about 30 metres from the cabinets. The map also says that the Oldham exchange is FTTP ready. Infinity does look better priced though. ;) |
Re: The end is nigh
id get in touch with them and get a rep out. someone senior in your area would do nicely. see my above post
|
Re: The end is nigh
Why would they send someone 'senior' out for a standard residential customer prospect?
|
Re: The end is nigh
wont be standard though ;)
|
Re: The end is nigh
Standard Infinity, though..

With the added factor that the paper work is, 50% of the time, wrong. Added with working tuesday to saturday working 2 6 day weeks in a month and just you try booking holidays with them, it's allways a BIG NO. And if you are getting work done in the Bournemouth area, ask about the Team Manager, the grumpiest so and so you have ever met, with a just get it in and done attitude, with no regard for anything past his bonus, btw he got fired as an installer, then hired as a manager when McNicolas got the new contract. |
Re: The end is nigh
Oldham isn't getting FTTP, it has FTTC available and as of next year it'll have FTTP on demand available in common with other areas.
BT Retail can't cut special deals with residential customers to pull fibre instead of copper for various reasons. If a new line is needed a new line is what the OP will get. Either way OP will be getting copper to their home in the first instance. This time next year the option may be there for FTTP on demand, whether this requires a copper loop to supply voice or is a full replacement isn't known. |

VM do sell their network to other companies, just not residential ISPs. In fact, 60 out of the last 74 months, or my entire adult life, I have got or have been able to get better speeds on BT. ---------- Post added at 14:12 ---------- Previous post was at 14:03 ---------- Quote:

They're also still obliged to supply a full copper loop to anyone who wants one within reason, removing copper ties homes to FTTC/P which Ofcom do not yet permit. |
