Talktalk business LLU to FTTC

Hi,

Is it possible to upgrade to the FTTC package if your already on the TalkTalk Business LLU package?

Thanks!

It would only be possible to up grade to FTTC if TalkTalk business offered it as a services , i see no mention of FTTC on there website , so guess that's a no ! ( at the moment )

Please (and this is truly from the heart), stay away from TT. Whatever they promise. You will get hurt.

i really like TalkTalk..

in fact, they offer a magnificent service through LLU.

And Business LLU is la creme-de-la-creme of TalkTalk's services... absolutely unmetered, unlimited bandwidth for little more than £10 a month.

We seem to have a new TalkTalk troll , 3 posts in and its obvious .. New Flash ! there are allot of us that are extremely happy with our services from TalkTalk .but we don't kid our self that there a budget ISP .

Is it throttled or shaped? Is the (vague) FUP the same as the domestic FUP?

If so it's a little disingenuous to call it unmetered and unlimited.

So far the Business LLU service has been pretty solid, so no complaints there. Also considering BT Infinity. I don't suppose anyone has seen a comparison of the two?

TalkTalk has said there's no shaping or throttling, and i haven't noticed any signs.. It really is magnificent. And a a price of just £10 a month it's embarrassing for the other ISPs!

What have you tried though? I'm on vanilla Talktalk LLU. I notice for instance my uploads slow from ~90kB/s down to 10kB/s or much less between 6pm and 9pm or later. I also get dropped repeatedly from chatrooms that I've been constantly in for the last 9 years during those times of day. This is with the winmx protocol.

Do you torrent? I know overnight is ok but I'm thinking more of the daytime/evening speeds.

If Opal use the same kit in the exchanges and if the kit decides the shaping etc then I don't see how the service is different. There were some 'ifs' there though

You're right Myth. The standard TalkTalk LLU service for a fiver is okay, but nothing special. Bit torrent traffic is definitely shaped. In fact it's as slow as a slug on dope. Yet downloading a blowout ISO of Ubuntu on the same connection was pretty damn quick.. Not exactly a scientific study, but there-yer-go! cheers
