..this must be the way to go...
This morning I had BT Infinity installed.It took the BT Outreach engineer nearly three hours for the complete installation. He had to run a new cable from the main phone socket in my front porch outside all around my house and up to the second floor and into the back bedroom where I have my computer.Then there's all the wiring connecting stuff and the end result is a download speed of 36.5mb instead of 1.5mb...and the whole lot is just £5 a month more than before.. absolutely brilliant.btw..we haven't got cable round these parts and I don't want Sky....

PS you may notice I've lost my avatar and I can't get it back can anyone help please.

How much did they charge for the installation? Was it free? Amazing.

[janzman]

£25 that's it....

[rsvp]

seems like a great deal for you - you sound chuffed about - good one!

You've got a Christmas Snoopy avatar on my computer. Well, it looks a bit like Snoopy but it is definitely Christmas.

Yeah, its good innit? We had it installed on Tuesday.

what is it?

[B00]

BT's newest broadband Jno. According to Mr Boo it's supposed to be all singing all dancing, so far though, im largely unimpressed, it's not made the teas like i was expecting it to ;-)

Hyper fast optical fibre broadband for lucky b*stards - the rest of us continue to struggle with BT's Victorian copper cable network

oh, right, thanks, B00. We used to have Virgin broadband but it slowed to a crawl after they 'upgraded' it, so on the advice of our Bulgarian computer repairman we switched to Sky. He lives over the road and had just done the same thing for the same reason. It's been fine ever since, touch wood. (It's in a package with our Sky TV, which we inherited when jno jnr moved out.) Does Infinity actually have anything so whizbang that I should be thinking about changing again?

[B00]

to be honest jno, I dunno, Mr Boo does all the technical stuff, and can wrap his head round them, I just wanna be able to switch on and be good to go, lol.

Here's info 'bout it though.

ta for that, B00 and Dave. My service seems pretty quick now, so as it ain't broke I won't bother fixing it.

Me too, my ordinary BT Broadband does us fine. They tried to flog me BT Vision - but we don't want all those extras, we too are happy with what we've got.

I have Virgin cable broadband and just upgraded to the 100mb package. We get regular speeds of 97.5 mb download and 9.5mb upload. Its great for online gaming when there are several gamers in the house :)

daffy,
you are living in the future. we are lucky to get 1.5 mbs download speed!
