Hi all,hope you are all well.Just wanted to ask,is anybody on this as i have just had it installed.Cant say i am impressed,20/6 down 14/2 up.I was promised a lot more,what are you getting.Dean :y
-
Where are you getting the figures from?
For reference, I'm getting approx. 62 down, 15ish up (impossible to get a clean run on the Zen line) on both of my Zen fibre and BT Infinity for Business lines. I've about 400m from my cabinet.
-
Full beans infinity here...
45 down tonight. But guess it is peak time

Hi TB i have been running speed test with my bt,on there web site and thats the average.Had it installed 2 weeks ago,so not good i take it.Must be some problems again then. >:(

The BT Wholesale speedtester should give the sync speed once you've put in the phone number.
Did you go for a full fat one?
Either way, 20Mb is borderline then allowing you to have infinity - how far are you from your cabinet? What state is your house wiring in?

Where is the sync speed mate,if you mean the full fat one.Bt infinity2 cab distance not known,as for the house wiring.Old terrace house in hartlepool(don't laugh).

BTW wired connection,i have spoke to bt.It was free upgrade,free hub 5 engineer install.On speed test site okki it said 87 down 16 up. :-\.also £30.19 per month for bb.Also 3 miles from the exchange. :-[

Sync is on the Wholesale tester.
Speed of Infinity is dependent on the distance you are from the cabinet, and the quality of the cabling. Generally, Infinity doesn't like home wiring to be done in a star formation, but straight, as this reduces reflections. Sometimes disconnecting the ringer wire improves sync speed.
Obviously, all this will make sod all difference if you're a million miles from the cabinet, but in an urban area, I'd expect you're not far...

Ignore the OKLA test sites, they are pointless.
Distance from exchange is irrelevant for Infinity/fibre products, its distance from cabinet...

Unless you are a gamer or something, I can't see the point.

Thanks mate,but can i find out how far i am from the cab :y

Hi STEMO hope you are well.What do you mean mate.Dean

TB an open-reach guy is coming Friday.What should i ask him if you don't mind. :y

I just don't need that kind of speed. Basic broadband is plenty fast enough for me, and my son seems to manage mario karts online very well.

Before turning up, I'd be inclined to test the router in the test socket of the NTE5, assuming that's what you have, as that should automatically disconnect all internal wiring...

Think i may have dropped a bollok,i had an xp pc.So i thought i will up grade the bb.And then upgrade the pc to win 7.In hine site should have done it the other way round.Ho well Dean

So, it's not just me. Everyone get really uptight about what speed their getting. Does it matter ?
When I moved I called BT about lines etc and the guy was prattling on on about better speed for lots more cash a month. Why ? I'm doing this on a 3G mobile connection. It's fine. Why would I want to pay LOTS and LOTSmore for fibre optic ? OK, I don't stream movies or game etc, but then I'm not a nerd and have a real life.

Open reach socket MK2 top socket to dsl on hub bottom to phone.By engineer. :-\

Rog,i don't play games,but i do stream movies.I am also not a nerd,and i have real life to my friend.And its not costing me any more than before.I just want what i pay fro mate.Regards Dean :y

OK, does speed increase if you unscrew and remove bottom half of the faceplate?

Pure download speed is just for penis measuring in the pub.
Where I feel fibre products really score is the upload. This makes VPNs for those who home work more reliable, VoIP less troublesome, and online cloud storage/sync viable. 8Mb down will stream any film from legal sources with ease, but the paltry 1Mb upload is useless for anything that involves your sending data.

You pay for an Up To xxMb service, not a xxMb service.
Obviously, its clearly not possible to provide everybody with the highest headline speed.

Can i do that mate,without ballsing anything up.As i have not tried.

I agree mate,but surely the higher the premium you pay the better the service should be. :y
-
Moggy have you done the obvious and spoken to BT to test the service.
You can ring them now and ask them to check.

No. The line can only attain a certain maximum speed for a given technology. Spending more cannot increase that maximum.

So bt should have given me a realistic down and up lode speed.If it was what they said i would not be complaing.

BT Infinity, just done a test,...........21.5MB down and 2.8MB up so about average? is fine for online gaming apparently........ :-\ :-\

Hi mate sorry for not replying earlier.Yes rang them,they are sending an openreach engineer Friday.They confirm the speed is not,as quoted.What they will do is any ones guess. :-\

As per last line of PM, I've had a nasty thought - the speedtests you ran and got the 20down/18up, that wasn't on wireless was it? If so, try on a wired connection.
20Mbps is around the top end of the capability of a 54Mb wifi (such as 802.11g) on a good day.

TB just did a test,sync speed 79.8, download speed 19MB,upload 14.8MB.Wired connection.

Was it working better before? If so, have you been raping the arse off it? Wonder if you're in a heavy shaping profile?
No chance anyone else have jumped onto your router and using your bandwidth?

Hi mate,since the day infinity was installed.The connection as always been wired(9th may). And the speeds average what i have posted.Sorry i don't know what you mean,when you you say raping the arse off it.Also what is a heavy shaping profile,and how do i check if someone is using my bandwidth.
