BT Infinity
« on: December 04, 2011, 08:42:47 PM »
Has anybody here transferred over to this and is it really much faster ?

I am already with BT Broadband and they keep sending me notifications asking if I want to transfer, promising me a world of speed etc . It won't mean much difference in the monthly bills but does require a £25 transfer set up costs fee etc .

Is it worth it ?

Generally speaking you should expect a faster connection with an optical fibre than you can achieve over the old copper wires that your telephone is connected to.

Zactly .... but it all depends on whether BT will replace all the wires in your local exchange, those from the exchange to your router and for that matter those that feed into the exchange. I can't see them doing that for £25.  noooo:

Tell me about it  ::) .   We don't have gas because the developers in the 90's decided against the cost of piping it throughout a 19thC listed building, we don't have cable TV etc because the cable Co.s at the time thought we weren't in the right demographic... and yet I can see and virtually shout at the H of P from my roof  Shrugs:

Praps Miss D could run a cable over from her house. With her lickle pumpy thighs she'd be there in no time and you could give her a rub down before she runs back  :thumbsup:
