mold exchange to pontybodkin exchange is around 4-5 miles ish so 7.1km of fibre to the constitution hill wold sound reasonable there is still another .5k/1.0k easy up to the exchange from the proposed roadworks

out of interest sean if your on 24mb why is it the longest days of your life im only on 8mb sync about 6/6.5 throughput and for most use this is fine. Apart from say video 24mb would cure that. If your on 24mb talktalk what benefits are you looking to gain using your connection from a fttc line, apart from latency, id love 24mb from the same exchange were on but refuse to use talktalk (only llu provider for others at our exchange)

There is 4 of us living here and its the 1mb upload thats the problem.

When all 4 of us are home and using the internet it all gets slow and laggy

why not use talktalk?

I was kind of dreading it when I first switched over on the 25th of August 2012 but not had any note worthy issues at all.

Connection has gone down a few times due to problems at talktalk's end but was never off more than an hour or so. Speed and latency have also been 100% fine as well.

I did see a guy in the cabinet at Treuddyn down the road yesterday installing cables and doing other stuff..

Not seen anyone at the cabs in Leeswood.. But could of missed them.

didn't notice any work from mold to pontblyddyn in my travels for the 7km plus fibre being blown.. not sure if it has been done? bearing in mind...looking at the planned roadworks for the PCP's that were supposed to happen. those happened later than scheduled.

had a look on roadworks.org again and there is more planned fibre being blown from pontblyddyn up to the exchange it seems (another 2.5km run) maybe they have blown that 7km fibre?? did not see any rolling roadworks

plenty of work going on in caergwrle now too, there due to be enabled in the same timeframe as pontybodkin exchange


oh.. and in regards to talktalk could not jusitfy moving currently... back in the day looking for a reliable isp i have been with zen now since 2007 and business email addresses are in place (with zen email addresses) was more hassle to switch away just for the speed benefit. They have been rock solid for 6+ years now so would not think of switching away will just upgrade to fibre with them when its available. Personal use would be great to switch for some extra bandwidth

I saw BT + Contractors out in the week working in mold with rolling works down the B5444

Also had some guys here in leeswood yesterday putting in some ducting.

I see that caergwrle is showing as "PCP BDUK" But here in leeswood BDUK was not mentioned on the info from roadworks.org

I used to be with Zen, fantastic ISP and staff that know what they are doing.. but it just got to expensive for me at the time. I see now that Zen have some nice prices now.

Best thing you could do whether switching or not is purchase a domain name, I use 1and1. and it costs me £3.59 a year. I then set up email addresses and set them to forward to my ISPs email address. That way I get a personalised/professional email addresses, and if I ever move ISP I would just need to change the redirection address at 1and1. Cost for doing this is just the domain name, no need for email hosting with 1and1.

Change the settings in your email client to reflect your new email address, advise customers and overtime they will use your new email address. Both old and new email addresses will still receive email.

saw work going on at most of the pcps today and ducting being layed from the bridge inn up towards constitution hill
