Getting 152Mb broadband but the earliest they can come to install is 21st October.... Currently having to deal with 8Mb on a good day.

 

Can anyone see if they can move me up a bit?

Patience wore out waiting for Openreach to install infinity...

try dealing with ~5Mb. Every day.

Had 100Mb at home with parents moved out and the only demand I had was fast broadband.

 

it has been known to drop down to 1.2Mb for about 3 days with no warning and when Sky were quizzed they said it must be my pc causing it (even though it happened on 5 different devices)

My sister has the delights of 0.5Mb from BT, she lives in a rural village miles from the exchange. However an infinity cabinet has popped up in the village, and several in her street are now running at 70meg plus. She is deciding to move over to infinity or stay as is, Virgin is not an option, no cables laid anywhere near the village. I've got 78meg down and 18meg up with infinity at the rental house in the sticks, people do not believe how this house in the countryside has such a good connection.

I would mind them pushing it back if we were in the sticks, but I live about half a mile away from salford quays and about 400m from the main BT exchange which has been enabled for infinity and is taking orders...

 

Even my dad in anglesey (post code LL64) can get infinity before we can and they don't even have mainline gas!!

We average about 3.5 Mb and our just under 4 miles from the exchange, maybe getting Fibre optic middle of next year in the village, which will be nice.

I'm now on a speedy 4.6mb in this house after a mighty 3.2mb in the flat. Parents have gone from 0.7mb to 5.6mb are amazed!

It's taken openreach 2 years to sort it out round my way, that's how long the cabinets have been installed.  So 3 years since they said it would be available.

I have 1.25mb at home (WISP - BT is 0.2mb) and 2.45mb at work.... and no fibre available at either location.

"Anyone work at Virgin Media"-woops, perhaps not. Many employed ,from my experiences, but how may do a full day's work- that IS A QUESTION/

thats coz he gives them all this time off

 

back on topic, its amazing to find people who were worse off than me pre fibre

We're still waiting for a date. Looking like at least 2017 now and we're only a few miles from the centre of Edinburgh.

Currently using two adsl connections each about 1.1/1.2mbs down.

I'm on 100mbs and it's being upgraded to 150mbs next month! Also VM now include the usage in their bills, this one is 85gb!

We put up with less than 10mbs for years until they gave us the upgrade, it's well worth the wait.

Just how much porn do you need?? 

 

It's very nice when it works, but the average speed on the 152 tier is only slightly more than when I was on the 120 package. Then I got a fairly solid 125 average (I'm on the Sam Knows broadband panel, so can check the stats for my connection) and last month the average was *only* 126. I run a few low volume web sites off my connection, so it's the upload speed I'm more interested in.

 

@JohnRS: Only 85Gb - you're not trying hard enough Upload is around that, with download around the 200-250 Gb mark.

try dealing with ~5Mb. Every day.

try dealing with 0.75mb everyday :(

That just gives you time to get that engine back in the Fabia in between downloads :p

cabinet is quite literally right outside my window, so when they run 20ft of cable into my room it will most likely not drop too much.

Bloomin Virgin Media - we moved house a while back and tried to take it with us and couldn't because they havent; cabled the area we moved to...   Hence we had to cancel the service and now they're sending me regular letters saying 'sign up' - HOW??? - THERE IS NO SERVICE HERE!  Also they've refused to keep our blueyonder email live as well - even though I offerred to pay for it - which means I've got to swap everything over and change all the contact addresses we've had for years...   pain in the backside.
