Re: New FTTC install slower than ADSL2+

Are you seriously suggesting people should move home to get a better connection?? wow.

What I'm suggesting is that if the speed of your internet connection is very important to you, then yes, if you need to move to improve things do so. Businesses move to locations that best suit their company needs, why is it unreasonable to expect homeowners to do the same.

Are you sure your modem supports G.INP?


I flashed my HG612 with the SP08 firmware specifically to support G.INP. How long does it take for it to be enabled?

My line was showing loads of errors so I can understand DLM applying interleaving but my line was stable despite the errors. Would DLM ever turn interleaving back off?

Superfast over a satellite connection is new and once you get a volume of people on it, I don't believe it will be solution that has more than a stop gap purpose

Plus some serious changes need to happen to satellite usage allowances to even handle the average data usage

I wasn't thinking of superfast

The last 1% is always going to be a major problem not only because of cost but also because of physical difficulties. It seems to me that a basiic 2Mbps via satellite for these folk may be the easiest way to go

I fully accept it will be neither practical or cost effective to get some of these folk streaming Netflix and watching catch up tv any time soon, if ever. But they will be able to tax the car, file the tax return etc in the way that many govnmnt depts demand that they do now

BDUK funding can only be directly used on properties that don't have super fast speeds (except a small percentage that may benefit as a by-product of a cab being enabled).

BT then choose where they spend their profits to upgrade to new tech. If it is a BT programme then they will do it based on potential profits not based on who currently has the slowest speeds.

or if you just want to resolve your own property a copper network rearrangement at a couple of thousand may be possible.


I think I will explore this option I would be happy to pay a couple of thousand to get it resolved. Hypothetically how would this work, they would connect my line to a different cabinet or?

Presumably I raise a request through the details on the following url and they would access and quote accordingly?

Also Mr Saffron, the BDUK Derbyshire scheme is saying they are aiming to have 98% coverage by the end of 2018 - http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/business/community_broa...

In your opinion, would this likely include the postcodes mentioned in this thread?

Derbyshire is not small so 2% means 7,500 missing out, how lucky do you feel and can you make your case to go to superfast more than someone in a village of 50 homes, where the best they can get is 1 Mbps.

The end of 2018 is over three years away, so its pay now or wait and see.
