[shaithis]

Wonder if this will trickle down to LLUs....

Which did you go for sir?

[Hoonigan]

So, what is the theoretical maximum speed of this new Infinity package? 80 down, 20 up?

I'm on 50 down and 5 up and still haven't seen anything that can max that yet. Steam will only download at 4mb/s, which is about 2mb/s short of the max of my connection.

20mbps upload speed sounds nice though! Pretty much fast enough to run your own file sharing service

I just used the link to order the upgrade, my new speeds were estimated at 25 down and 5 up, my current speed are 40 down as 8 up, I checked twice and got the same result.

Anyone have any idea about why that would be happening?

Speed upgrades are live, peeps

[Bluecube]

My speed seems to have quartered since I placed my order. It better just be the line being setup otherwise I will be seriously dischuffed!

Finally managed to order it online this morning. Predicted speeds are 51Mb/10Mb, current speeds are 37Mb/8Mb so not the greatest improvement but hoping BT are under estimating. Hopefully back to the speeds I was used to on Virgin!!

Zen Lite for me

Haven't jumped to their Fibre until now as they were capping download so low even I woulsd have used it.. but it's now 20gig which is fine for me and now it's doubled speed I'm in.

Didn't order router though, will use the modem that comes with the service and my Draktek 2820n on the WAN port, and use PPPOe to stick the username and password down the pipe.

Estimate is 50 down....

I'm on just under 6 at the moment on ADSL2.

quite excited now.

Jimboarae? ANY IDEA's OR SHALL I GET THE GUNS OUT ?

[Zak33]

ON DOG TO THE BOYS NOW.. think this is an error where BT rejected it as I have ADSL with Zen.. even though it's a Zen upgrade

[Flash477]

Well mine upgraded last night - only get this atm, but hoping it will increase...

No idea Zakky, My issue seemed to be related to the fact that I had only had Infinity for 2 months and I'd paid the line rental all up front in order to get a further discount. When I tried to upgrade it gave me an error message about not being able to process the request as my line rental contract still had over 2 months before expiry.

Time to get the .50 cal Brownings out me thinks.

[Zak33]

/\ only?

45.8 from 37 is 30% speed hike!! and it's a 33% increase in upload!!!

imagine a 30% - 33% pay increase.......

[Zak33]

all sorted.

A) Zen are being their normal cautious self on speed promises..

B) My order went through as a new purchase not an upgrade.. sorted now.

back on track

Thanks to Lee as Zen who ever he is cos he knows his stuff!
