As I said in my other post, sky is no good. Need to have line rental with them. Stopping with BT for phone.

Thanks. I thought that was low anyway.

BT saying the wrong things again.

Don't know why you'd stick with BT. Moved over to sky phone and sky fiber, zero problems, consistently good speeds whenever I run speed tester, £20 a month (who needs 80mb, that'll be a nice little increase in a year or two's time )

Yes, the 80GB is utter garbage, which casts doubt on what else you were told.

Preceding the 300GB which was removed a long time ago, it was 100GB. 80GB just doesn't figure.

From what ive gathered hes paid a years line rental in advanced already.

But that wont help you much as you don't already have fibre (I think they just have a typo as dibre is not a technology I have heard of
so for you it is a new connection and their £80 is + VAT (£96.00 inc VAT)

It's a Merula-specific technology . I just followed his link.

I'm also a bit worried by his "most", based on a single example. It seems unlikely, unless OR have now dropped their migration charge to a lower figure than an initial install. Maybe you can tell us whether they have or not .

The sub-discussion was about migrating to somewhere other than a "free" installer after his first contract expires.

The price charged for migrations of FTTC to FTTC is a little lower but not by much, FTTC new installs and migrations from xDSL are still the same figure.

Thanks.

I've had BT Infinity 2 for a couple of weeks now and so far I'm very impressed. Signup estimate was 51Mb down and 13Mb up but TBB speed tester reports this (TBB is the only tester that reports such a slow upload, every other tester reports 14Mb)



I don't do p2p so the throttling of that bothers me not one bit. I didn't want Sky line rental, and Sky 80Mb is more expensive than BT. Throw in the £50 from topcashback and a £50 Sainsbury's gift card, free connection and no FUP that I'll ever get near and it is a good deal all round. I was nervous about going with BT as their ADSL has a terrible reputation, but good feedback on here and elsewhere about Infinity 2 helped me take the plunge. I know it is still early days but so far so good.
