New landlines arriving tomorrow in my road.


[link to this post]
 
There are broadband packages with just 10MB.

I am a single household. I don't play vid games or download films.

I am told, even so, I will find 10MB frustrating when shopping on line or searching because I will receive a download speed much less than 10MB.

So I will probably go with a larger MB package.

However, before I make my final choice, I have a question.

Tomorrow, Openreach are going to begin putting new landlines in all along the road.

These lines will be superior.

I wonder if, when the new line is attached to my house, will I then receive a faster download speed nearer to 10MB?

If you’ve not already done so, you may wish to check what Openreach based broadband services you can receive.

Search based on telephone number:

Search based on your address:

You may wish to re-run the check a few days following your new line installation, as your broadband options may significantly change (in a good way) 😀

I suspect FTTP is being run to the road. See this thread. Though if his screenshot was correct it is already available.

Connections: OnePlus 8 Pro, 4G max 165Mbps down, 24Mbps up on Three Mobile, and B311 4G router, tbb tests normally 35-45Mpbs down, 65Mbps off-peak, 9-24 up.

That doesn't sound likely, if your previous screenshot was actually for your house. How did you find the UPRN, when the Address link MHC gave you there would definitely work?

Edit: I have now discovered how to find a UPRN smile.

Ah yes. The OP ought to be delighted at the consistency and reliability of the service if the headline speeds on offer aren’t that inspiring.

I also suspect the screenshot in the other thread was erroneous. See my reply to the OP here.

Hyperlink to the screenshot gives the OP first and surname under MS OneDrive sharing. Hope they realise.

Not for me, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Whatever, the screenshot I see doesn't have any mention of 10Mbps (which I assume they meant).

Connections: OnePlus 8 Pro, 4G max 165Mbps down, 24Mbps up on Three Mobile, and B311 4G router, tbb tests normally 35-45Mpbs down, 65Mbps off-peak, 9-24 up.

The link on my phone opens the OneDrive app and it’s quite openly visible there in “sharing”. Thought the OP might not be comfortable with his full name publicly visible from a link on the open forum.

Wowzer, OneDrive is terrible for this type of kind of stuff. I clicked the link then it immediately adds my full name in (and presumably everyone else’s name to that list of users). I think I’ve managed to remove myself but could see someone called Ben on there if that’s one of you guys.
