I saw the other day you said you only had FTTPoD - does that not only go up to 300mbps? so maybe it's YOUR ficticous leased line we should be amused at!

Nope.

It doesn't only go up to 330Mb/s. It can be bought directly at 1000Mb/s.
Also as soon as FTTPoD is live the property becomes native WBC FTTP available, allowing standard Openreach FTTP to be ordered.

Pheasant's FTTPoD was installed a few years ago. They now have a standard FTTP service.

It took just over 6 months to get my leased line installed (127 working days) - while it's not FTTPoD it might be similar in process? Firstly Ignore what any Surveyor tells you on the day, Mine told me he had no problems getting fibre from my house to the box where the CBT was going to be - but then I was told a chamber had collapsed in between.

The G.fast I had with AAISP at the time started to play up from the day that survey happened so my advice would be to wait until you get the e-mail from OR stating any Excess Construction Charges you might have to pay. Mine was £822 Inc VAT. I am not sure if they will do this to you but they charged me £31.97+VAT to drill a hole in the wall.

I had to have 455M of cable and other stuff and a telegraph pole installed. They managed to do a lot (apparently) overhead which they say cut down the time - they also found another 5 blockages which I was not charged for, I suspect they were doing this anyway to get FTTP to this area but I don't know.

I was given 10 working days to walk away from any ECC's so you are not totally high and dry. From memory I think I paid something like £247+VAT for my survey

I had a survey for a line – Surveyor said all was good after he put the fibre through the ducts – and then our existing internet started to have disconnects – I am then told there is a collapsed duct and there were ECC”s – they have now just found another 5 blockages months down the line.

What a remarkable coincidence. A perfectly smooth survey however after it was done the existing service became problematic, then a collapsed duct/chamber was found, then 5 additional blockages.

Can't have been you though, surely, given:

I am going to get someone to come in and get all the nerdy stuff you seem to crave to prove once and for all this is NOT a Mythical Line - Even emails from BTNet telling me what's been done are made up apparently (also I would like to know what they are)

You will soon have a speed test/trace route and a screenshot of me typing the reply as it's being done

Sorry but it is very difficult to get my head around that someone with a gigabit DIA to home can't handle a speed test and traceroute. 5 minutes on Google.

Far more likely you're stalling for time while you either get someone else to do it for you or are on a work service you can claim is home.

Either way you've completely derailed another thread where a person asked a quite reasonable question and you've taken it as another opportunity to indulge what has to be a bizarre fantasy and it's not the first time you've popped up in a thread vaguely or not even remotely related to talk about this alleged leased line: you crowbar it in regularly.

Whether real or not, and I find it far more likely not, you're trolling. Enough already.

The Swiss cheese 🧀 story of the mythical leased line, is back again with more myths and legends (and complete [censored]).

CBTs, survey fees, blockages, new poles. Wee have everything 😅. Jesus wept.

Tasty Poultry out.

And sorry if believed anything the Openreach engineers said to me - And yes The survey fees and stuff was from the original survey e-mail which I paid!

I’ll say this once.

None of us really could give a damn about your precious leased line, whether it actually exists or as suspected is merely a twisted figment of your ridiculous overactive imagination.

It truly is very sad, extremely pathetic and an utterly boring spectacle watching you repeatedly make a complete spectacle of yourself.

Please stop and get help.

He is an absolute nightmare, he tries to crowbar his imaginary leased line into every thread he posts in which then derails the thread, I can only speak for myself but I am sick and tired of this happening as its not fair on the OPs of these threads and I am surprised management have not yet taken any action as he is a serial offender.

Independent of this thread I had reason to go to the website of a provider mentioned several times in it, and occasionally elsewhere on these forums.

Namely Amvia. Quite small but look from a short look at their finances at Companies House seem to be viable. However I was a little disturbed to read the following !:

BT's FTTC product is called BT Infinity

It is delivered using fibre to the distribution box, then VDSL over the final copper loop. There are two variants of BT Infinity, Unlimited Infinity and Premium Infinity. Unlimited Infinity & Premium Infinity only offer guaranteed speeds of up to 22Mbps download and 3Mbps upload. These speeds are considerably less than the capability of FTTC. The only difference between Unlimited and Premium is that Premium has PC support and Symantec security protection for your desktop devices.

It's at the start of a comparison of FTTC providers. The only other "major providers" of FTTC being TalkTalk and Virgin Media. (They do explain that VM use a different technology).

I think I know why the page is so out of date, and given the reason it probably isn't anything to worry about. Hence the "laugh" icon in the post header.
