BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

All,

The BT Wholesale checker has been updated, it's now less conservative with its' estimates.

In addition Trefor of Timico has very kindly made a new checker page which uses Google maps to show enabled postcodes, which cabinet they are served by and dates for enabling.

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Still don't understand this. Loughborough is on the phase 6 exchange list for March 2011, and for a while that was what the BT.com/infinity page said as well. But for the last 4 weeks the infinity page now says end of December 2010. Are they ahead of schedule?

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Openreach has made him remove the google maps section :(

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

My parents house can now receive BT Infinity the checker is indicating 49mb down and 10.9 mb up how accurate are these figures ? They're currently with VM but are considering switching to BT once out of contract.

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

I will tell you once I get mine installed.

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Sucks that the map was pulled down, would have been interesting to look at

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Dont see why he pulled it down to be honest

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Anyone know the answer to this ?

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

My estimate was way above what I ordered so can't say. Most people I have spoken to have found they got more than the estimates though.

Thought ignitions post was a new one, not 3 years old lol. For that reason I didn't answer before....thinking the estimates were different from last week :dunce:

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

From what ive read they are generally quite conservative with their estimates ..

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

my estimate is 56 down, 20 up...I will tell you next week what it is

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

On the lower tier you may get 1 or 2Mbit slower than the full 40/10. Not sure of the reason why but I have had this over two addresses with Sky.

Small price for such a reliable, consistent, low latency un-managed connection :D

OMG...6 ping...that is almost climaxic :D

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Err overheads........

The same reason you don't get 80meg on the higher package....

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

exactly...

Edit - dont know whats going on with mine but i have higher latency and more speed all of a sudden

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

I assumed the overheads would be smaller than that. Too lazy to do the maths :tired:

Hope the ping gods are good to you also, with the new install :)

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Outside of the first month after install, is there anything that can make the fibre modem change the calibration? Crosstalk or change in tbe copper part of the line?

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

DLM

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

I worded that badly wrong! Meant to ask what would cause the DLM to change the speed or latency and if the connection between the fibre hub and the property is the only part that affects it?

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Don't worry about the wording, I still don't understand the question, but..that is just me :D

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Its very possible that I still worded it badly lol

DLM is similar to DSL syncing

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Crosstalk will affect the performance of the line and this will depend on the number of active customers on a cabinet. As FTTC becomes more popular expect the line speed attainable to drop... The effect may be reduced if vectoring makes it beyond testing!

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

I had a load of power outages a couple of weeks ago, turned out to be a dodgy multi-plug tripping the fuseboard, anyway it kept me on fastpath after that, then i unplugged it the other day to move my desk out to clean behind and when i put it back in a couple of hours later it was like that :rolleyes:

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Many thanks for the replies , I'll let them know.

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Ok, when I ordered online..estimate was 56 down, 20 up

I am at first getting 74 down, 14 up

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

You might find that the download speed goes down a little bit over the next few weeks, as well as the upload increasing.

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Been testing (on speedtest.net) and getting 74 down and 17 up

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Awesome! Congrats on joining the proper fibre broadband club :D

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Hope you can help Is it Scottish Power that adds the Power to the cabinet or is it Openreach Just for the last 4 days Openreach have been at the new cabinet not Scottish Power

Attachment 24592

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Scottish Power will be the company providing the power - Openreach haven't branched out into the Electricity market yet ;-)

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
 

Lol How long does it take now to get the cabinet up & running now the Power is in

Re: BT Fibre Checker Updated, New Tools Too
