I am getting 100mb download speed on infinity 2. If you had infinity 2 them you will have received the literature that tells you that it's possible to get speeds above 80mb depending on your location relative to the cabinet. Clearly you won't believe me. But I assure you I am getting 100mb in the middle of nowhere in Northumberland. And 95mb in Derbyshire. My cabinet in Derbyshire was just a few yards from my house. As for a cap well there's no mention of that in the literature as you would know if you had it.
Why do you find it so hard to believe me? No I'm not going to post a screenshot. Take a leap of faith. Not everyone in life is a liar Sir. What possible motive would I have for lying? I'm not into macho posturing about things like download speeds. Trust me it's downloading at 100mb. Hey sign up to infinity 2 and find out. Believe me it's brilliant. The engineer that installed it told me I would get speeds higher than 80mb due to my location. And yes, I do also use the service myself. Rather than call you a liar, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you are mistaken. |

Because it isn't true. A speedtest takes 30 seconds to run and would instantly prove us wrong, but you insist on taking longer to repeat what you're saying without a shred of evidence.

Unless that copyright spat about DLM ment BT removed the caps or BT ****ed up something on your cabinet IE no 80/20 profile cap. you ain't getting any faster than 80/20. I gotta also say that when I first got FTTC My line would of been capable of something like 100/30 , but it's always been capped at 80/20 and for a few months it had a nice high SNR margin, now over time and half the street has FTTC it's been crosstalked down to 55/19. unless your line is exceptionally short as people move to FTTC your line speed will fall. |

This is what its coming to in regards to service, on initial roll-out there was so much to it, the engineer was officially given 3 hours for a job, so he could come in get a clean line from outside, and sort out your internal wiring get you your Master socket to a preferred location, AND setup your devices. Now the same job is cut to an hour, how can you expect quality from that? and now even worse, now they have even done away with an engineer visit and if anyone complains they will send the engineer out on a fault and expect to have all that should have been done on an installation done then and thats if the engineer is even willing to do it.

Support over the phone was shocking , in the end I got an engineer out via the BT community forum. An Openreach engineer installed a new line and my router has been synced at 80/20 ever since. |

It's like the early fibre connections, jointing them took hours with special equipment, but over time they learned how to simplify it with improved tools. Now, jointing fibre in a muddy manhole is all in a normal day's work. |

What possible motive have you got for not posting a screenshot? - I think we all know that
