Same problem here <1mb/sec.
Now running everything via a "3" Mi-Fi dongle.
I get 5mb/sec now.
Much better, only snag is 10GB limit per month and £15 per month too.

Still, so far so good and last month had about 500mb spare on the last day.

PITA though.

 

aha, I was going to put cabinet/exchange

but did not bother - wondered if someone would call it

openreach are slowly be going to integrating FTTH, as far as i'm concerned they wont get a penny from me as them ****'s led to the company i contracted to nearly lost me everything due to their incompetence


not bitter at all

 

Where has this (negative) slant (factual?) been published - genuinely interested. I work for LGA's and the above is far from the truth for the authorities I work with.

 

thats why i didnt reply , if he had worked on the infrastructure it would of been a different story but he just reads the negative press

 

UK rural broadband rollout criticised by auditors

This is a report by the government appointed auditors and says pretty much what I said.

Don't bother with the excuses as we all know I'm right!

 

where has the op or anyone has said anything about rural?

so you found a story to kind of fit into your statement , laughable.

you must know everything because you "read it on the internet'

 

No, I told you in the thread a few weeks ago that the National Audit Office were about to publish a damning report into the Broadabnd roll out in the UK...and now they have! You of course ignored it as you know better despite the fact you're an aerial fitter or some such nonsense yet talk about working with the infrastructure... next you'll be calling yourself an engineer

 

I worked for Telent as a BT contractor ....... Not done aerials for a while

Didn't know I needed to update my cv on here for you....


So that puts me in the category of knowing more than you so hush your gums

 

F1fan,
Luckily not all authorities should be tarred with the same brush.

Our contract has been awarded. 91% of region to be at a minimum of 24mbps and the remaining 9% will be at a minimum of 2mbps to 24mbps.

Deployment will be starting soon. This specific rollout covers 3 authorities.

 

No it doesn't, please don't pretend you know or are responsible for anything important infrastructure wise as we all know it's bollocks although given the state of the project maybe you are in charge.

So you are claiming the report done by the government'ss own audit office into the giovernment's own broadband roll out is completely wrong as obviously they have a vested interest in painting it in a bad light

You really do embarrass yourself sometimes. Now get back to wiring up a few old folks phones and shut the **** up for once

 

No worries and I'm glad to hear it.

As an Internet developer I do get frustrated with the fact that in some areas we are woefully behind the rest of Western Europe...... we need to be leading this race not trailing behind like the fat kid on a school sports day!!

 

.....

 

Glad you took my advice... well done

 

I'm just glad I live in an area that means I attain 60mbps.

Whilst the historical situation is probably the real issue, looking to implement this kind of infrastructure project in the current climate certainly won't be helping situations, which I can personally appreciate. In a political environment things are never black and white unfortunately, which adds to the challenge.

Local Authorities are now being faced with up to 30% reductions over the next 3-4yrs....... that is severe by any stretch of the imagination. Sort of puts it all in to context.

BT was awarded the contract following a procurement exercise through the Government’s Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) framework. BT is contributing £5.67m towards fibre deployment in “non-commercial” areas whilst this region is contributing £4.45m – with a further £4.45m coming from BDUK funds. Just over £14.5m investment in the region - not insurmountable investment and certainly a major project for the region.
