BT Infinity

We are getting BT Infinity at the end of this month. Anyone else got it yet? OH is very excited, but I've just read various reviews and it's not necessarily as fantastic as the ads would have you believe.

I see they have BT Infinity 2 out now, well I would love to have BT Infinity 1 for starts as I feel I live in the back of beyond. No wonder I love fantasy Wink

But it seems we're not living in the right area when we looked into having it.

So I better keep on banging the rock together... Sad

RE: BT Infinity

We have it.
It coincided with me getting my new netbook. Decrease on netbook plus increase on BTI = same as before Big Grin

It's good for watching things on the internet telly upstairs, though.

Please put a bowl of water out for hedgehogs and other night-time visitors, you might just save their life.
While you are at it, feed the birds too. Thumbs Up

RE: BT Infinity

We have Infinity but I wouldn't say it was fantastic. the wireless didn't improve much but the wired connection did. I bought some ethernet adaptors that plug into the mains and they deliver a good download speed to our PC which is upstairs.

Never answer sales calls now, let our answer machine to screen all incoming calls to our house now. It's amazing how much less stressed and frustrated I personally feel when I'm not answering several different sales calls a day. Especially those overseas ones which obviously don't understand, "I'm not interested," and continue on with their spiel several times before I finally would have lost all patience and eventually hang up on them. Happened every single time in the end, life much more relaxing with our secretary fielding all calls now. Smile

RE: BT Infinity

If I'm not mistaken Infinity2 is advertised as being '8x faster' - but faster than what? A tortoise? Your old 56k dial-up modem? Who knows? BT are masters at 'smoke and mirrors' advertising.

RE: BT Infinity

I've had BT infinity for about 6 months now, and on the whole it is pretty good. However.... weekends it can be very unstable- I was watching the Grand Prix last weekend on Sky Go and it kept cutting out- and downloads are throttled too- i was downloading (or trying) to download some linux distributions via bittorrent last weekend too and it was ridiculously slow. Having said this during the week its fabulous and streaming hd excellent.

Told BT to go and shove it where it doesn't shine. They took four months to pay me the credits they owed me.

I now have Virgin 30 megs for £17 month and its Doubled to 60 shortly.

We started getting 8 or 9 sales calls a day just after we switched to sky last year. They were all market research calls from the same company, overseas (so telephone preference service couldn't help at all), going on til 9 or 10 at night. I did a bit of checking on the internet, and the firm was based in Watford and unfortunately their website listed all the email addresses of every single director of the company. So, I emailed a "i am totally p***ed off and everytime your callers hassle me on the phone in future I am going to hassle you, personally, by email" message to each and every single director.

24 hours later I received a full apology and the calls stopped 48 hours later.
