Wondering if it's any good now?

Hi Guys,

I am moving away from a VM wired house to a house which has (apparently) 59/18 Infinity (although BT tell me it's synced at 62/20) The cab is about 200 yards away at the end of the street.

Is BT any good now the traffic management has been scrapped?

Honest opinions please as I can change if I am not happy

::edit:: this is the upto 76 package I am told

The product is pretty good on the whole.
The service is pretty bad, though the forum mods usually get things fixed.

Ah okay thanks for your feedback

I've never noticed any traffic management and I've been a customer since Sept last year; so it really depends what you use your connection for.

Coming from BE where I had a good connection with static IP, the only thing I miss is the static IP. The rest of the service is equally as good, or better, as you'd expect from a much larger organisation. As you'd be coming from VM, you should find things a lot better.

Don't ask me about the HomeHub as I swapped that out as soon as the engineer left, for my own Draytek 2820 router - any "cable" router can work with the Openreach modem as long as it does PPPoE.

agreed its all good apart from the static ip issue.

The ip issue has even led me to using a firmware I probably wouldnt be using if I had a static ip.

Cheers for the replys. The move fell through late last night but the cab near me is in the process of being expanded so I'll have it here in a few months. When I'll come back and read this advice and then take BT. Thanks again
