Anyone know if Wokingham is up and running now on VDSL2?

I assume to take advantage to this I will need to switch to BT Infinity??

Yes it is and of course it's BT Infinity that provides it.

No, you can choose from many ISPs http://www.robertos.me.uk/html/isps_offering_fttc.html

Well.. the BT Infinity Broadband website says it's still not available based on my wokingham post code. (I'm less than 1kn from the exchange).

(I don't currently have a BT phone line).

also... samknows.com is still saying 31.12.2010 as the go-live date but not confirmed it's completed.

Next thing to find out.. when are Sky going to start FTTC in Wokingham.. I can't believe TalkTalk are ahead of them!

I am on the Wokingham exchange and have had FTTC through Aquiss for about 6 weeks.

I had the same issue with BT Infinity saying it was not available and it is because the BT estimate for my line was 11.6Mbps. I actually get 30Mbps down and 10Mbps up.

BT Retail will not take orders for Infinity if the estimate is below 15Mbps, if your estimate is also below 15 then either you will need to find another ISP rather than BT or wait until they release a sub 15Mbps product. I still get the BT emails saying how sorry that they are that it's not available when I already have FTTC enabled.

If you use http://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html this will tell you what the BT estimate for your line is. If it doesn't recognise your phone number use the postcode checker.

I migrated from Sky because they don't seem to have an FTTC product anytime soon. I suspect that my 1 year contract could be up before Sky have anything but considering how good Aquiss have been I'm not sure I would go back.

thanks, I just checked the BT Wholesale link and it says 31st March 2011 my cabinet will be enabled even though I live in central Wokingham.

I guess a little longer to wait still... strange.

actually, double checking the message - this is what is says...

Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial check on your address indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line speed up to 2Mbps.

Our check also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL Max broadband line speed of 4.5Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 3Mbps and 7.5Mbps.

Our check also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 6Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 3.5Mbps and 8.5Mbps. Our test also indicates that your line could support an estimated ADSL 2+ Annex-M broadband upstream line speed of 1Mbps and downstream line speed of 3.5Mbps; typically the downstream speed would range between 2.5Mbps and 4.5Mbps.

Your cabinet is planned to have WBC FTTC by 31st March 2011. Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 10.7 Mbps and upstream line speed of 4.6 Mbps.

This last bit says I have WBC FTTC now but also that I'm due to get WBC FTTC by 31st March... brain hurting!!!!
