Does NGND3700v2 is VDSL capable hardware?

With a separate VDSL modem, yes

Assuming they let you. While it's possible, Sky seems to be discouraging it as much as possible.

There are no technical reasons why you cant

Don't you need to sniff a password or something?

To access their network using your own router, yes. However the VDSL side of things doesn't need that password

Also a 60 estimate may well turn out to be 80, BT are massively under estimating lines incase people fall victim to crosstalk, but heavy crosstalk doesnt happen to everyone and many get speeds way above their estimate.

Following an email saying I would be getting a price rise I've ordered Plusnet fibre. Their quote is 67Mbps.

About time!!

It's a bit dearer than cable but hopefully will be more reliable and less congested. There was a softener for the fibre install charge (I don't want a call package) and higher eventual monthly price - I normally use TopCashBack but checking Quidco I found there was a £100 cashback on offer

. That expires in a few days should anybody else be considering making the same move.

FTTC estimates have shot up this past week.

They now have an estimate for clean lines and impacted lines.

From what what I can see isp's are usign the low and clean estimate which is typically higher than older estimates.

I am now syncing lower than what infinity estimates for my line (which is now 72mbit). Interestingly my old estimate is exactly the same as my new low and impacted estimate.

If I get 60 I'll be happy enough.

Incidentally the VM retentions bod gave me a bum steer - I didn't press for any discount I just asked when was the latest I could cancel without penalty and he said "end of January" which sounded wrong so I read the T&C and see it's 30 days from them giving me notice which was yesterday if they count emails. I'll cancel towards the end of the month. If they naff me about on the fibre install that could leave me with no servce so I may have to buy a Three PAYG sim off ebay for my MiFi to tide me over.

Just realised FTTC is available at my property, High of 80 down and low of 78 down, something to think about when the contract ends.

Are they going to complete upgrading the upload speeds from last increase before they embark on this new increase ? Or has that been quietly forgotten ?

I'm on 30MB with a 2MB upload - we were promised long ago it should be a 10:1 ration ie. 30/3 MB.

Will I be on 50MB/2MB in the next speed upgrade 50/3 or 50/5 - place your bets now.....

There will be jam tomorrow as always. Free jam. But the price may rise between times.
