I�ll not hear of such a thing Carl, Max and Jackanory in the same post ?

Say it ain�t so ....

Actually there are 6 sockets in my house. Four master sockets say label BT Openreach and two master sockets say NTL and Virgin Media.

If you plug a telephone into all 4 BT Openreach sockets do they all have dial tone?

5 sockets has no dial tone! Only the hallway!

So after all that ... you only have one working socket ... so the story about 4 NTE�s is tosh.

It has/had no effect on your VDSL, and the reason for varying results on a line checker has naff all to do with a number of sockets. Either the Openreach installer fibbed, or you did (again).

OK, so you may have 6 sockets in your home but if only 1 is connected to the BT network the others are irrelevant and have no impact on your broadband service.

At least you know where to go if there is a global shortage of NTE's

I never order G.fast because I asking BTw to double check the estimate on G.fast because I don't believe my line is 114-207 for download and 9-29 for upload. Should be 324-330 and 31-50.

to me, sifibreenquiriesmop

Hello,

Thanks for getting in touch with us about fibre broadband availability in your area.

Yes you are right as I've checked our records and G.fast speed that you are getting is 114 to 207mbps.

Unfortunately, we are not able to tell you anything except fibre feasibility for your area so if you are facing any issue related to speed you should contact to your service provider who can arrange for an engineer visit to check that there are no faults on the line.

We (fibre enquiry) advise only network fibre availability so that customers can go with their chosen internet service providers, rest work is taken care by your chosen internet service providers.

I hope you're encouraged by my response and will be able to enjoy the benefits that fibre broadband brings.

Kind regards,

Akash

Whether BT's database says 114-207 or 324-330, makes no difference to the actual speed you will achieve if you buy the service. That will depend on the physics of the line; the modems auto-negotiate to the best speed achievable.

If you *genuinely* believe that you know best, and you think the line is capable of 324-330, then simply order it and enjoy the speed. You can't complain for them giving you a faster speed than they promised!

If when it is delivered you get a speed between 114 and 207: then you were wrong and BTe were right. You can't complain for them giving you correct information!

Either way, you have no right to complain.
