To my mind, the imperative for going to BT Infinity is to do with copper distance from the exchange.

Re: BT Infinity - truly unlimited?

It's been a while since I heard about other ISP's plans to use BT's FTTC infrastructure, are there still any plans to unbundle the bit to the cab as well?

It's good to know on the BT side as when/if infinity finally comes to my area (scheduled for March this year) I'm thinking of switching.
With be* here too.
So current infinity are only managing P2P incl. torrents. All other traffic (incl. NewsGroups) are not capped?

Be* is about as plain as they come no shaping or managing that seems to impact me.

I would assume so, otherwise how would they launch a FTTC service otherwise??

Be are running FTTC trials in the London borough next to mine, but no details as yet when they're launching a live service.

BT Wholesale, exactly the same as the twenty or so other FTTC services already available?

Get into trouble, it's often better to approach them on Twitter @BTCare to get a resolution because you are then dealing with the contact centre in Northern Ireland who are on the ball.

My only gripe with Infinity is that if for whatever reason your profile gets dropped (can spot it by pings going up, main line dropping a few MB) the only solution seems to be for an engineer to come out. All they then do is make a phone call to get the IP profile reset. Pretty daft if you ask me.
My pings just went up, a lot, but my speed hasn't changed:


Almost exactly 11 days since my install as well.
