Hi,

Netmeter from http://www.metal-machine.de/readerror/. It is no longer supported by the original developer and has gome open source. The latest version is 1.1.4.1 from the forum or PM me.

Cheers

PS Pls feel free to PM if anything I can help with.

And if you need any specific questions answering just ask

I do James....
Do your FTTC products come with a static IP (and if not, how much extra per month)?

For me it looks to be down to three choices (each has its advantages & disadvantages)....
1. BT Infinity @ £27.99/month (advantages = cheap, free home hub, BT Vision, free wi-fi minutes; disadvantages = 18 month contract, doubts about FUP & throttling, no static IP).
2. ADSL24 Fibre 60 Pro @ £38.99/month (advantages = actual real customer service, not too worried about possible throttling, shorter 12 month contract; disadvantages = a bit pricey, higher allowances available elsewhere, need to buy my own cable router).
3. TitanADSL SurfHome Standard @ £39.99/month (advantages = 40GB higher peak time allowance for only £1 extra, free static IP; disadvantages = same as ADSL24).

I'm not against paying £40 a month (after all; we started off there in the early days of 512k ADSL) so it'll probably be a toss up between ADSL24 & Titan.
A free static IP might sway me towards ADSL24 (as I was with you guys before switching to BE LLU, and I know you give a good service), but the extra 40GB peak allowance (at Titan) for only £1 more is very tempting.

Hi,

Yes, static IP on all our Fibre packages by default.

Note that on our packages you get unlimited off-peak, so that's a lot of allowance potentially. Midnight-8am Mon-Fri and all weekend is off-peak therefore unlimited usage. So it's not just 60GB usage!

Our setup fee is £5 cheaper and we only charge £1.20 per extra GB rather than £1.49 although of course the VAT increase in January will be the same for all

Cheers

With our Fibre packages we have already taken into account the VAT increase in Jan and no price increases will be made on our Fibre packages and with off peak starting at 11pm in the evening 1 hour earlier during week days with unlimited usage off peak and weekends.

Nice to see you are answering questions from potential customers on this forum. Shame you stopped answering questions from your existing customers on the ADSL24 forum. Your last post there was 20/07/2010.

Another BIG plus is that ADSL 24's tech support is in the UK, that of BT Infinity is in India.

Midnight-8am Mon-Fri and

Thought it was from 2200hrs for home products and 20:00 hrs for pro...or was I lucky to get in quick before some change ?

I thought the BT Infinity tech support was based in Newcastle?

It's a shame it isn't still 10pm, as midnight is a little awkward.
The start of off-peak being midnight will require my PC to be regularly switched on overnight just to do a few downloads.
The 11pm [start of off-peak with Titan] may be the main factor which pushes me towards them and away from ADSL24 (and the extra 40GB peak allowance for about £1).
With an 11pm start to off-peak, I'll be able to do some downloads then switch the PC off for the night (saving about 2kWh each day) as I'd be able to download more than 12GB before midnight each night (should I need or want to).

Effectively the £40/month Titan product is nearly equivalent to the £50/month ADSL24 product (apart from the Titan product has 10GB more peak allowance and an extra hour off-peak each night).
So unless Titan are likely to give a poorer performance (e.g. if they throttle more) it's looking to be a no-brainer.

The basic 30GB package (ADSL24) is out of the question as I do a fair bit of home working (via a VPN to the office, which has a 10Mbps leased line) and I don't think 30GB peak allowance will be enough.

I would be interested in knowing details of the FUP from both providers because one (or both) will be no use if there's something daft like a 100GB FUP. I can't seem to find details of a fibre specific FUP on either site (and I can't believe an old ADSL/ADSL2+ FUP would apply to fibre).

also note, you dont NEED a cable router, as you can connect your BT supplied modem directly into the PC and create a PPPoE connection
