 Posted: Tue Aug 30, 16 5:57 pm Post subject: BT or who for BB |
 
|
Good evening All,
I would welcome some advice on Broadband supply, I am in Brackley Northants.
Currently I am out of contract with BT. I now pay �40.99 per month for my package.
My "package" consists unlimited calls from my landline to other landlines and mobiles from Friday 2400 to Sunday 2400, for �20.99 a month. Outside these time I get5 cared per minute. But, I never use my landline phone, don't even answer it if it rings, due to to my mobile phone package.
I also get unlimited Broadband for �20 a month.
The BB speeds are: download between 9.9 to 10.13. Upload 0.98 to 1.12 mis. Described as pitiful by the chap at BT.
The sales lady at BT tells me that BT Fibre optic BB is available to me if I pay more. The FO is already installed and just needs an angineeer to flick the switch, it is all there in situ and will give me thesuperfast speedy quick all singing and all dancing and all round fantastic and brilliant and sooner cooper BB that I need. But when I asked if they would upgrade the cable from the cabinet to my house from copper to Fibre, she said its already there, I know it's not. The engineer installed copper. She was adamant that no engineer will call to upgrade that cable.
So, does the fact that I will have copper from the cabinet to the house, and to the router mean that the speed of the all singing and all dancing BB etc etc as above will be reduced?
Is it worth having? It will cost an extra �6 a month.
Hope that this is clear? Got fed up with the BT sales lady waffling on using the sales patter and not answering my questions.

I don't have a landline. Well, actually I do, but there's no telephone plugged into it. I don't know where it is, and there's only one plug, so it was the router or nothing. I'd forgotten all about it.
I'm with talk talk and I pay about three pounds a month for a phone landline with no calls or anything like that included (I have it purely so that if there was an emergency, my daughter could call 999. Mum used to call on it, but now has an iPhone, so she can call over the wifi) I think the whole kit and caboodle is about �18 a month, just for BB and the ability to have a phone for emergencies. I don't know if it's fibre optic, but it is certainly adequate (Lady J and I can both stream different stuff Netflix at the same time, and that's the maximum we ever use) |
