maybe the reason infinity is the most popular just now as that is the only fttc product being mass marketed just now.

id go as far as saying no one else has yet bothered to mass market it yet at all, exc BTR.

"but why replace the PCP casing?"

so the tie cables can go in as a rule ie the old shell was full and no room for the new cables to link to the new FTTC cab

but why replace the PCP casing?

Apart from the posibility it may have been damagaed. to allow for extra space to install the copper tie cables (to an FTTC cabinet) and the termination blocks.

To be fair to BT though their deal is pretty good, but congrats none the less

My line is exactly 547m to the FTTC cab. I was predicted to get about 28.7 mbit down and 6.8 mbit up. My ip profile is 38717 kbps down and 1000 up. I find that I normally tend to get around 37 mbit down and 8 mbit up regardless of the time of day.

Very pleased bar one thing.

Having acknowledged receipt of the order they sort of go into silence u til something happens. In particular they don't tell you that the migration order has been submitted to BT. I got used to O2 bombarding me with texts at every stage.

But emails replying to queries have been well handled. Setup details email was adequate-to-good, gave an IP masking that I couldn't set on my router, when I tried to pre-configure, but it turned out not to matter as the router auto-configures in a minute or so once the modem was up and running.

Good to know, I don't think any ISP is exactly the "messiah" of ISPs, they all have problems, but some more than others. Lying to customers is something that I cannot accept with ADSL24, and then bullying them with hefty fines unless you stay with them is unacceptable.

That is a very good point! I so seldom watch TV I'd forgotten the advertising was BTR/Infinity.

Thanks to the others about the PCP replacement - makes sense it would be full, this is the original area of town, some houses in the roads around here date from when Farnborough airfield was first created as the UK home of aviation. Lots of senior staff military housing from the last century.

Good to know you're up and running. My cabinet isn't due to arrive until July now, although this week Openreach replaced the old PCP box with a brand new one - but its not a DSLAM box. Hopefully they've got the ground ready for the new one, maybe ducting went in to go between the two, but why replace the PCP casing?

The same thing happened to my PCP, it was first replaced by a new one and then the fibre cab was added later, still not ready though.

Well I don't know if it is normal, but I got a welcoming phone call from the owner in the middle of the afternoon!

Hellloooooooooooo, are you there Ian Livingstone?
