Well that's a tad f**ked up. BT say I can get FTTP @ 160Mb, yet other ISP's (including those owned by BT ,*cough* PlusNet*cough*) say I can't get fibre at  all!!!! :angry:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Just called BT to cancel my old phone line, they didn't want to lose me so done the 160Mb FTTP service for £26 per month instead of £35 p/m, first 3 months free and the usual line rental charge, "unlimited" downloads etc

Result  :cool:



Just got to wait over a month for the install on 16th Jan and put up with shoddy Edge speeds with a chance of 3G/HSPA until then :sad:

well my current isp (talktalk) have just told me fibre is now in my area, let's see if it improves from this



this is wireless on an old g netgear router that talktalk are replacing with their new N router!! (hopefully that may also improve things?)
