No exit fee's getting out of BT and got a date of 29th December for an engineer to come out and get my hardware ready for the extra bandwidth (what the hell that is I don't know)

will be a new ONT the current one only has a 1 gig ethernet port on it
the net one has a 2.5g on it.

I'm following this with interest as I'm halfway through a 2 year contract with BT 900 FTTP. First year was £40.99 this year has gone up slightly to £44 so not bad and certainly way cheaper than the £62 I was paying to Virgin.

Also my ping times dropped from 20+ to 6.8ms on average.

Like you, I have two EE phone contracts which just came to an end, and during the usual phone call they tried to move me to EE broadband and was rather confused when I refused to. "But you'll save money" came the response. "And you'll have unlimited data on up to 10 of your phones"...."The broadband is £50 a month...." well that's not a saving is it.

We ended the conversation with me getting my two sims downgraded to SIM only plans which is all I wanted. But I am curious as to how those on the EE 1.6 service are getting along. Is it still PPPoE I gather? Did your ping times change at all? I note in this thread, both speedtests show 10ms but I'm aware that varies around the country.

Just trying to gather information as I still have until next May to think about my next move.

Just downloaded a 60gb file in 5 minutes.

That's the point.

Mine was the Adran SDX 611q version

I'm on EE 1.6gbs with my own Asus router as the EE router is garbage.. and its been great much better than my VM RFoG connection.

Sorry old thread but is this still good? I've signed up and I am glad they do 12 month contracts now.

I have no complaints, been with them for about four months

Thank you.

I have to have a survey done which will happen this week and then hopefully installed after Xmas.
