Weird!  They came and installed the white modem and upgraded the line all in one go on Wednesday, so can't complain too much.

First impressions of the Fibre is excellent.  Sky router, rubbish.  Think I might upgrade to a quality Netgear one with dual channels for better Wi-Fi signal.

It works a little different with FTTP as they've got to blow the fibre to your house, whereas FTTC they use your existing copper from your house to the cabinet. Only a week left!

Talktalk will be notifying me when fibre optic is available in my area, due this month.

Choice of estimated 36mbps for £10 extra or 70 mbps for £15. Hmmmmm.
