When I say BT is gone, it isn’t completely true yet.
I had to pay early termination fees, so I did.
BT Decided I had been over charged by a tenner, but that is OK, they will deduct from the next bill on a closed account.
They just sent me a returns bag for my phone equipment.
Its a VOIP service and I didn’t rent any of their hardware, sooo there is nothing to return.
However, never missing an opportunity, I am looking for the biggest box that will fit in the bag.
Then see how many of those annoying polystyrene chips will fit leaving room for a dead BT Dect phone and base unit.
Plus any other old shite, Micra water pump, Ashtray from a Rover Streetwise. . . and maybe a handfull of fun snaps
Looking at the top of this thread shows how far technology has moved on since 2011.
Bearing in mind that 2011 6Mb connection supported netflix and two people home working.
Our expectations were met at the time but three teenagers have a large bandwidth appetite.
Plusnet did provide Fibre, only to the cabinet though, still crusty copper this end.
This statement may be coming to fruition
“BT has lost the plot completely and I hope they get bought up by CityFibre”
My nearest wooden BT pole, the very one that the crusty old copper dangling from my house reaches to has a new feature, a spool of neatly coiled Fibre.
Openreach even have an installation date for go-live at up to but probably nowhere near speed of 1.6Gb/second in January.
January 2027 of course, subject to delays.
Currently on OpenReach based provider, so I get ok downloads and an anaemic upload as is standard with them. Earlier this year there was chaos as roads were dug up by Grain, whoever they are, to put in even more cables. Their salesperson turned up later. Looks like I can get 900/900 for similar rates to my current 500/70.
