Plenty of former BE users have jumped to BT Infinity and they seem generally happy, and they are pretty particular about their broadband.


Some might say "passionate" about broadband smile

Yes Bat,as I don't get involvedi n that myself, I never thought about it.
Still pondering over my own Infinity.
Tested 6 times over yesterday and today - 4> 50meg & 2< 20meg. Not sure what BT's phone call this evening will say.....
Cheers,Les.

Hope you enjoy all the BT throttling and usage allowances laugh

Most odd, perhaps you can enlighten me as to what my unlimited allowance is and why I can download at 80Mbps any time of the day or night. I am so disappointed that I am not being throttled or subject to usage allowance, in fact I feel cheated.

It's a well known fact that BT throttle torrents and usenet services. I believe its also in your terms of service that they throttle to improve the service for others.

Take a look on the BT forums and the many threads of people complaining about throttling speeds, here is one of many:

On signing up I was told they throttle P2P services. Since I never use P2P that is fine by me. I use (text only) usenet but that isn't throttled. Other independent sites say the same.

The only real choices are Sky FTTC or BT FTTC unless you don't use very much or have lots of money.

250GB 8am-midnight, unlimited midnight to 8am, £19.99pm, with P2P limited to 2Mbps 20:00-22:00 doesn't sound much like "unless you don't use very much or have lots of money" to me tongue.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk
Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost. Connection - Plusnet Extra Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 56.0/13.9Mbps @ 600m.

Yep, but I've also used PlusNet lines before. smile A friend of mine is on 80/20 and gets faster speeds than you, but I'm not a fan (or a Yorkshireman).

With the Plus/Pro (or whatever its called) add on, suddenly the price is less attractive to Infinity. Also at £19 its pretty much the same price as Sky's 40/10 service.
