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.

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?

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.

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:

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
