FTTC migration


[link to this post] 		 
Is an engineer's visit required for an FTTC migration?

I got what looks like a standard reply from my 'new' ISP and it says a visit has been booked - it even gives the date and time!

TIA,

DrT

Do you mean ADSLx >> FTTC, if so - Yes. If you mean FTTC >> FTTC then - No.

Except possibly when moving to Infinity as on ADSLx >> Infinity it is a "managed install" where the engineer is supposed to install and test that the Home Hub works as expected, so maybe the same applies on an FTTC >> Infinity migration.

So far as I know, no other ISP does a managed install. The router connection is the user's responsibility.

Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 54.2/15.2Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

k smile.

So on an FTTC >> FTTC migration with them, does the engineer go to install the new router? Alternatively, do they have to go to install the HH on FTTC >> Infinity?

Hi RobertoS,

Sorry for not being more clear. It will be FTTC > FTTC; ADSL24 >> Xilo.

AIUI, no need at all for a visit, but will have to say what Xilo confirm.

Hi DrTeeth, did you have to pay a connection charge? I'm thinking of migrating from a reseller to BT (FTTC > FTTC) but unsure about throwing £30 down the drain. I dont see the point of installation charge when its already been installed.

Yes I did. I just wanted to get away from my former provider. My current ISP is checper for the same package so I'll be in profit well before my first year is up.

I am currently with PlusNet on Fibre and was considering moving to BT for the free sport but am put off by the £30 activation charge. Can anyone explain why, when I am already on fibre I have to pay an activation charge ?

In reply to a post by Chris:

Interestingly, looking at the BT website, the activation charge only applies to Infinity 1 (38Mb) not Infinity 2 (76Mb).
