bt option 3 with fibre

hi all just wandering if anyone has heard of any dates being mentioned for bt to allow <15mb estimates on their isp, someone on here stated that he had a letter from bt saying that in april bt total broadband will have an option 3 with fibre available, but does that mean april 1st or april 31st, any help would be much appreciated.

Can't answer your actual question, but you do know that other providers already accept under 15Mbps estimates?

yes i do realise that, but not at the price point of bt's offering, i am an extremely heavy user and cannot and will not justify the extorsionate prices other isp's are charging for for lets say 300 gb, which is an amount i can currently hit on a 5.5 mb line per month, so that will only increase with fibre and all the hd content that is available these days, throttling dosent bother me one bit, if your clever you can get around throttling.

lets use aquiss as an example as they have mentioned on here to me many times that they can supply me with fibre, their biggest package is 120 gb which is not enough usage and twice the price of bt, and only 2mb upload, it really isnt enough unfortunately although i have heard good things about them, i am in no way slagging them off, its just not suitable for me.

......throttling dosent bother me one bit, if your clever you can get around throttling.

Clever enough to work it out for yourself? Or perhaps just get somebody clever to tell you how to do it? And he probably learnt it from from someone cleverer than he?

Then I suppose you would need to be clever because most of it is probably illegal.

Correct if your just using our peak as your only reference point. Please note our off-peak (overnights and all-day weekends) have no defined limit placed upon them.

It's fairly certain not to be April 31st !

I wouldn't trust April 1 either .

It's not necessary to know someone to be able to form a judgement about their intellect or lack of it. You can guage it quite well from what htye write.

Spect m8 innit

I've got an even cleverer way. Get yourself a cool carrier bag from Sainsbury's. The ones with the silver lining to stop things defrosting? Then you can steal CD's and DVD's without setting off the door alarms when you exit.

That leaves a lot more bandwidth for the rest of us.

LOL!

I might sound daft now but does that really work?

Now if the answer is "Yes", or even "No", ....

Just had this email from BT....

Bt Broadband with fibre
[email protected] to [email protected]

Hello,

Thank you for expressing your interest in our Fibre Broadband


BT is inviting you to join the new superfast broadband service recently installed in your area.
Using fibre optic technology we will considerably increase your current broadband speed.

The service comes with a free broadband hub3 equipped with the best wireless technology on the market.
A BT engineer will visit your home to install the new equipment and service for you, taking the stress out of switching over.
As you are with another provider if you did want to take up this service you would need your Mac code from your provider.

The service is on a 12 month contract basis - much lower than the majority of other products on the markets.


If you are interested in this brand new service or you would like to know more information please contact me on the above email address, providing you preferred contact number and a suitable time to contact you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you.

Looks as though they are beginning to offer the sub 15Mb product, my estimate is 10.8 and have been live for some time now....

Interesting that the mail offers a 12 months contract vs the 18 on their site.

Lol! No comment!

It depends on the system. Let's just say it doesnt aid detection.

im on the trial for bt option 3 with fibre, whats the final price then there going to sell it at?

is it the same as the top infinity package?

Email I had back when asking the same question....

Hi,

the monthly cost is £25.60. its unlimited broadband with unlimited usage, it is upto the 15mbps but if your broadband goes above and tests prove that, then i would say yes they would let you go onto higher service.

I also asked that if the synch speed on installation is above 15Mb will I be able to go onto the 40Mb product....
