Pulse8 can now do straight FTTC->FTTC migrations, it's a newish addition that they aren't advertising yet and may depend on your FTTC provider - so contact them for clarification. In my case they confirmed they could migrate from Plusnet.

I was told FTTC to FTTC migration cannot be done. It's will be PN FTTC > Pulse8 ADSL > Pluse8 FTTC but these can take longer as it depend the process by BT. So, from PN FTTC to Pulse8 ADSL could take within 10 working days then need to wait a further 24 hours and then request to TT to regrade from Pulse8 ADSL to Pulse8 FTTC and this may take another 7-10 working days. But there is also a charge fee of £30 to migration over to them.

You told me in the other thread you had been offered FTTC->FTTC, have Pulse8 given you new information since you posted?

They told me in an e-mail today they could do Plusnet FTTC ->Pulse8 FTTC directly - you're on Plusnet as well as I understand?

Does it depend if you're on Fibre LLU or not?

They did say FTTC->FTTC migration depended on provider, so I'm guessing they were asking about whether the customer was on fibre LLU - but that was not clarified.

Seems most migration issues have always involved TT somewhere alone the line, so wouldnt surprise me

Whoa!

There is great confusion about this, which I was thinking of trying to nail by signing up and taking the risk. Unpleasant though dropping to ADSL2+ would be, I do it for a fortnight when I go on holiday, and survive .

But!

If you aren't interested in Anytime/E & W or whatever call packages, which I'm not, then look at TalkTalk Business itself. I did that an hour ago and am now letting it sink in.

Business FTTC 80/20 unlimited, standard dynamic IP address but static instead (apparently free) on request, free call forwarding to your mobile, free wifi mobile in all sorts of places, PAYG outgoing calls. £33.50 + Vat = £40.18. Pulse8 £44, static IP address £2 = £46. But calls much cheaper than native TTB.

Worth a look? (Website is a mess but you'll find the stuff in the end). Anytime calls plus other goodies on the next package up >> £48.

Comes down to which provide better support if/when needed. Although i hear TT Business support is better than retail

This is Business grade. Not retail "Business" like consumer ISPs and resellers offer which is just the slightly prioritised bog standard stuff. Support has to be there, and good.

I'd never sign up to a product with a 24-month contract - no contract is the USP of Pulse8.
