Re: BT Infinity installed
sorry let me just make it clear that was not my speed test, i only posted it to prove they are starting to upgrade people to the 80Mb profile, and i've seen many more people posting their own tests of 80Mb/20Mb

Yep, this is what I'm waiting to see. How BT Infinity copes when it starts getting realistic utilisation levels. At the moment I bet its barely hitting 30% capacity.

What happens when these CABS starting hitting the big numbers,

Re: BT Infinity installed
Despite massively increasing customer numbers, performance has increased over 15% over the last year. Indicates to me BT are heavily investing in infrastructure and comitted to staying ahead of the game - for a while at least.

Also note the backhaul is being upgraded to handle 300-1000mbps FTTP on demand.

Well FTTC has a few advantages over cable.

Bigger shared pipes especially in the upstream direction. This should mean even under congestion jitter will always be better, packet loss is probably a bigger risk under congestion. The connection to the exchange from the cabinet is uncontended meaning it will never ever get congested.
Openreach will throttle at the wholesale level if utilisation gets too high over their wholesale network. So everyone regardless of protocol will see a speed hit for the sake of "quality of service". Also in the past BT have throttled everyone down to 2mbit/sec to keep things working. So they dont seem scared to do whats needed.
Different isps selling the product so if eg. infinity gets oversubbed, you could jump ship. With sky joining in now there will be 2 unlimited FTTC isp's at cheap prices.

the disadvantage is ultimately FTTC still has to use a limited run of dodgy old copper/ali cable and if that has faults then things like noise bursts and line drops may still happen. Openreach in my view are much worser than VM at dealing with local line issues.

Re: BT Infinity installed
Can't say much for the latter, though again business services via FTTC offer (sometimes optional) enhanced cover for local/line faults with 3-hour guarantees and 24-hour fix.

Re: BT Infinity installed
VM Broadband has been cancelled - will be signing up for Infinity tonight. Hope I don't regret this!

For all of you people on Infinity - are you still using the HH?

Zee: Many thanks!

Im using the HH3 and i dont really like it, i think the VM Superhub is a lot better. I wish i was able to specificly force the HH3 into 5GHz mode as all the 2.4GHz wireless channels give a crap speed for me.

Re: BT Infinity installed
Righto. I've got a Netgear 3300 that does PPPOE so if I'm not a fan of the HH3 I'll give that a whirl.

Re: BT Infinity installed
From my reading, as long as your 'cable' router supports PPoE you can connect it to the VDSL modem and job's a good 'un.

Nope. I'm using the DIR-615 that Virgin supplied me some time ago.

You can't force the HH3 into a mode which doesn't exist, though if that's the only bad thing you have to say about it I'd be impressed.

(The Home Hub 3 is a 2.4Ghz only device you doofus)

Re: BT Infinity installed
Installation date - 2nd of March. VM goes off on the 13th, so there's enough of an overlap just in case someone makes a pills of it.

Fingers crossed! Really looking forward to YouTube working properly
