that happen to my brother his was yeserday stil waiting for new booking

Wouldnt mind getting an install date even, placed an order for BT phone line and infinity, phone line has taken 3 weeks to install since i was on an LLU connection, they said they would contact me once the phone connection was live and i've had nothing, went live yesterday morning. E-mailed them to ask what was going on, some guy on the phone said wait til today to try and upgrade the infinity and when i do it asks me to confirm my phone line package as well as the broadband, even thought my phone line is with them now and active. Just want to get the order rolling rather than sitting around waiting for what seems to be nothing.

so what ere they doing about the other cabs then .i thik allpay need to bring the speeds up to much bts new fiber can offer i would like to have speeds of up to 80mb or allpay wil loss out if they dont

Well My manager had his line installed today, he is enjoying 48Mb - I just hope all goes well for me on friday, sounds like it's a bit hit and miss.

RE- Installation date confirmed for Saturday morning, maybe they will turn up as they will be on overtime.

LOL, lets hope there is more than one then. Oh yes, overtime. perhaps we will get lucky.

I might picket barton Rd if they stand me up again.

Please note I don't plan to proactively update the deployment map any longer. If you know of any updates required as time goes by you can of course PM me or Brett) to update it.

Some notes:

x Know problem cabs include the the famous Kempton Avenue, and Victoria Street.
x The few marked yellow with black spot surrounding the colledge are probably done but I haven't been near to check
x some cabs seem to have just been "forgotten" about. Noteably two on the Ross Rd, Breinton Rd. Perhaps Some of these are being done later because they have subordinate SCP cabs.
x if anyone drives past cab 73 on Belmont rd please advise if anything has happened there.

Why do you want speeds of 80Mb/s? Most people will never even notice it to be honest. standard browsing is fine with 2-3Mb/s, I can understand having around 10 if you are watching HD stuff. i can even understand maybe wanting 30Mb/s if there is a family with a few people using the net at the same time, but 80Mb/s is not really needed.

As for Allpay, they are in a different market, they are in the market where people can't get a decent broadband speed, I should most people will Allpay or any other wireless network are happy to be able to get 5Mb/s as I expect their normal broadband speed via copper cables to be pretty naff, if they can get it at all.


Myself I went the way i did because i wanted to try something different, wanted to get away from the BT network. I am not going to say i will never go for fibre as things change and at some point I may, but at the moment I don;'t feel the need for it.

Other cabs will be updated if Bt think they are going to make money out of doing so. this is one of the reason for this new contract that the council is looking at, so BT will have tax payers money to give people faster broadband where Bt will not fork out their own money


Don't get me wrong, it is nice that Hereford have at last got faster broadband after so long of being behind other places, but it is yet another monopoly company.

Thanks. One is actually in the college car park, difficult to see from the road.
