@thebandit –  Mate if you have the coin, stop fucking about and get the best FTTP available. If it’s not a big job for BT, it will cost you less than £2K. I know that seems extortionate for the internet but it will add value to your house and you will thank yourself for it every day. Your kids will want to be on their phones/tablets/consoles at the same time the Mrs is watching something on BBC iPlayer and you are trying to get a video out! It won’t happen unless you have good internet. It’s only gonna get worse because all these services are demanding more bandwidth as time goes on.

From the thing you posted, your internet is <1% as fast as my fibre connection. It would take you 200 hours to download a full-length HD movie and about 500 hours to upload one !!!!

I don’t have a problem paying for it mate, the guy said it simply wasn’t possible when he initially arrived. He said 2025, as in the year, 2025 lol

Yeah I’m BT, Openreach to be specific! I work in finance though, so not much I can do personally, but email me your details if you want me to do some more digging. I have contacts. ?

Will do mate, the registered email on here yeah?

Tbh bandit I’d have left the internet in the old house and just signed up with another provider at the new house

Is there anyway you can transfer it back to the old address (providing you haven’t got to be out of there?)

 

It’s £850 a month that other house, bit of an expense to keep just for the net really

If it’s just been put in it may need a 24 hour teething period. I’ve had it with virgin and sky before.

Yeah it went in today, the guy doing it said it would be toss lol

Anyone BT related? He initially said no chance of fibre, despite the 2 neighbours and across the road having it, because there would be no ports available. He then realised that there was no port at all for our property even for the dross internet on the telegraph pole closest to our house, he had to go 2 away where he said he found a fibre cable literally waiting to have something done with it, he mentioned it’s adaptor was currently full at 5 cables but said they can change the adaptor for one with more outlets – anyone know how i explain that to someone who can actually do it lol!

£99k up on Swarm mate and i don’t really play it much anymore, only if i am bored late at night hence no footage as it is usually on the laptop.
