.... move to PlusNet now and then get onto their trial (will their trial ever end??), or sign up to BT as soon as computer say "yes"?

Plus Net's trials seem more to do with getting their charging systems, advertising, support staff etc up to speed on a new product.

Theres nothing trial like with the FTTP service its self, it is after all using the same infrastructure as BT do, and as others have mentioned it should be so much more reliable than anything over copper.

Plusnet also came joint second in the PC Pro ISP customer satisfaction awards, Zen came first and joint second with BE, so people in general must be pretty happy with their service.

They have a commercial package available. You might need to call them.

bgriffiths - I normally go by the name of Richard & was involved with the Race to Infinity.

Are you on one of the released FTTP networks?

No - I'm not. Not long now according to latest rumours. I understand the contactors have handed over everything to BT now. They have been working away at either end of our road this week; hopefully no more "last minute hitches"!...

I'm down the bottom end of Hardwick & have a feeling they will need to do some digging round by us. Apparently, our cables were just buried when the houses were built, rather than in ducts

GunSmoke

Ah - I assumed you were Caldecote like me. Didn't know they were fttp-ing the south end of Hardwick.

They have already released the top road in Hardwick, & Grafton Drive in Caldecote for FTTP. Dont know if anyone has had it installed yet.

Not heard when any of the other areas are going to go live though

GunSmoke

I know of one person on the Grafton Drive PON who is up & running, through A&A, all went smoothly; I think someone else's installation due today.

Yes St Neots Road area went live a week or two ago; our village "coordinator" has it informally from BT that the contractors have handed the remaining infrastructure over to BT (though I saw them still burrowing away this morning)

I have been with BT for about 11 months now on their 110mbit FTTP product, I cant recall it ever running slow and the service has been top notch too. I recall fitting a gigabit NIC on my server as the 100mbit one wasn't able to take the full speed of the connection. Thumbs up from me for BT

You should receive a boost to 160Mb/s, if you haven't already.
