It must be early Festive Christmas spirit ! HoHo Ho

I think i will go with TT.

Foremost because its the cheapest 12month deal at £26.50pcm if i pay advance Tele line.
Worst case scenario I'm hoping the 38Mb will degrade to around 20Mbp with my distance being under 125m away from cabinet. 200m wibbly wobbly distance after a bottle of rum ? Going to try that out

No time related traffic management is another bonus as i would be using the BB more in the daytime.

I wanted the line for occasional p2p and it now seems all ISP's are taking measures to lock down on that with some form of traffic management. Times have changed. Possibly Sky is the exception but the fact they locked down on Newzbin will prompt more possible changes. Also QUIDCO discount is no guarantee.

I really can't see any major advantages between any of the Fibre broadband players any more.
Well assuming they are all able to keep there network running smoothly nearly all the time. My main remaining concern about TT.

And who needs 30Mb+ today ? What are people doing with this speed now that p2p is pretty much locked down. I'm really puzzled about this actually. I don't think there is even a 1080P HD audio film streaming service that could take advantage of such speeds. Beats me.

It's good for families / students with say 6+ people using the connection at once.

It means there's no slowdown for anybody on the network.

For 1 user it's an overkill.

Shouldn't degrade at all on the 40Mbps product. It should only be if you were on the 80Mbps one you might get that happeneing.

You do realise that BT and Plusnet are up to 80Mbps? (Their 40Mbps ones have 40GB allowance). Your estimate is 62Mbps. Is there an allowance/FUP on your TT product, or is it unlimited?

Guessed as much.

Well I have placed my order & go live date is 18th Dec. & already a little unsure about my decision after having read a few TT threads.

I will use next few days to decide if i need to pull out.

Any more feedback/advice would be appreciated.

It is unlimited downloads, free install, free support number & 12 months contract.

Currently paying more & getting 3-4Mb only. TT offer is too enticing.

I have singed up & got 18th Dec as go live but flicking through some TT forum threads is making me question my decision. If a user is not able to get TT support to help him get streaming LoveFilm smoothly on Fibre than i'm concerned. More so when TT Op comes into thread & tells him to join support queue rather than taking on the matter & ensuring its resolved with minimum negative impact.

Well i have got couple of days to dig deeper into TT issues & decide if i need to back out before BT line goes. Lot of pain if i change mind within cooling period.

At the price, something has to give.

You said you only use P2P occasionally. Have you any idea how much you actually use? Plusnet traffic management is 8pm-10pm and that's all, restricted to 2Mbps in that period if they need to. 250GB peak, unlimited off-peak.

Hi there, looks like your sorted but here is the TalkTalk fibre checker

Talktalk fibre is an 18month contract, their traffic shaping is only non encrypted p2p, so if that's your thing just use encrypted p2p which is default on most clients right now. No ports are blocked or general traffic restrictions or limits.

I've found them to be reliable but I'd check out their members forum for any support stuff before calling them.

Yes i made a mistake in quoting 18months instead of 12months. 12 months might have been for Non Fibre.

I'm definitely keeping an eye on the TT forum on here as well as on TT's support.

Do you know if they throttle VPN traffic as i will require occasional use of that ?

Is your experience based on Fibre install or standard broadband ?
