ICYMI: BT free speed increases
Noticed this myself when my backup line went from 55Mb sync to 71.

Yes it started to be rolled out recently and is due to be completed by November.
Effectively they're upgrading all Infinity 1 customers whose line is capable of more than 55Mb to Infinity 2 free of charge. This begs the question: What are they going to do for existing Infinity 2 customers? |

Can't edit the above but I knew I'd seen the links for BT's site.

This makes sense for a few reasons. It provides Openreach an anchor G.fast tenant, moves some money into the Openreach account and provides an incentive for Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone, etc, to jump on board with the product, which they may do with more enthusiasm than they did VDSL as they don't have their geriatric ADSL 2+ LLU networks to protect this time around. Of course they may also decide to pursue FTTP with a partner like CityFibre instead. We'll see. |
Re: ICYMI: BT free speed increases
I agree that appears to be the best way forward but the problem then comes to those Infinity 2 customers not close enough for G.fast.
Then there's the relatively small number already on FTTP paying for Infinity 2 but upgrading those to 152Mb would be relatively easy. I also find it amusing that the Mods on the BT community site were unaware of these speed increases. |

The 152Mb FTTP version is the same cost as the G.fast version. The gap between that and the 330/50 product however is huge - over FTTP it's twice the price of G.fast. Gee, anyone would think the pricing were that way so that BT Retail could plan such upgrades. Surely not? ;) |
Re: ICYMI: BT free speed increases
Openreach are offering a new speed level for FTTP @ 160/10 Mb. No change to the 200Mb service.
