I still dont have a clue what you are on about

(my fault not yours) but yes I am at ease, its all as smooth as a smooth thing here so I guess I need to shove off to a BT infinity forum of sorts...

no it probably wont be enough. they normally email you or some form of alert pops up within your online account when you near the max allowance. youve got the usage meter you can monitor too. is it 5£ extra for each GB you go over?

Yeah, that's much better than STM. £5 per G ? I hope that's not right ..

Quick update, absolutely brilliant so far. No slow down or stuttering on i player or you tube, completely solid and smooth...no crashes, no superhub going nuts. Connection is instant.

For anyone with issues and who have Infinity in the road its worth thinking about.

I am still at a loss as to how 200 metres of 20 year old copper cable from the house to the box can handle all this? and a telephone line.

awesome. have you enquired about possibly getting your upload speed bumped?

It monitors your modem/router to see how much latency, packet loss etc there is from their server to you. It's a nice way to see how flat it is compared to VM rollercoaster of pinging nightmares.

I am in Lincoln and due to poor service from Virgin cable seriously considering moving to BT Infinity. Nice new cab down the road the road, and it is locked, unlike many Virgin cabs in the area.

Been with cable since Diamond cable introduced it to Lincoln, but performance is poor, trying to watch anything BBC iPlayer is a joke.

Im not a heavy users, but I like the network to work when I want to use it.

How do BT present the service?

Anyone in LN1 using the service?

Does anyone know how

My experience with BT is that they've been far better in my area.

According to Ofcom's results last year BT's 40mb service is faster than VM's 50mb service for general web browsing, more consistent in download speeds, has several times times lower packet loss and orders of magnitude lower lower jitter as well. That's from national averages, not just my personal experience.

I am down the other end of town in Doddington Park (LN6 3) and the service has always been mint here. Must be all the students up your end

You are correct. LN1 covers the North West of Lincoln so West Parade, Newport, Burton Rd all areas with high student populations.

Looks like I need to give Infinity a try, at least whilst it is new and has capacity.

qasdfdsaq · 13-05-2012, 17:04

It's 4 years old, and already has more local capacity than VM cable ever will.
