did you get sorted? our pole is still the only one in the area not doneUpdate from me, Have OR here. Light loss found in the Splitter node. If that isn’t the issue they will work to the CBT then the CSP

Left sky, Joined BT will be active on the 5th, Seems like the gear in the exchange can't handle capacity for growing gigafast customers .... This is what an OR engineer told me, So i left without penaltydid you get sorted? our pole is still the only one in the area not done![]()
did the bt switch go ok? you getting full speed now?Left sky, Joined BT will be active on the 5th, Seems like the gear in the exchange can't handle capacity for growing gigafast customers .... This is what an OR engineer told me, So i left without penalty
The switch was perfect, Running tests on my phone with fast.com and Speedtest.net and others. I get 835 - 880 mbps down and 110mbps up.did the bt switch go ok? you getting full speed now?
Good news the new connection is performing wellThe switch was perfect, Running tests on my phone with fast.com and Speedtest.net and others. I get 835 - 880 mbps down and 110mbps up.
Over wired connections I get 930mbps and 110up.
Considering they are using BT’s gear clearly something was wrong with SKY’s piggyback servers as nothing from my home to the exchange has changed.
Only was an active line transfer
Openreach engineer must've been drunk talking about piggyback stuff then.Good news the new connection is performing well
Probably just a colloquialism- but strictly speaking - the FTTP network up to the exchange is purely Openreach - as distinct from “BT” (Retail or Wholesale). It’s effectively a transparent pipe from the serving/handover/headend exchange to your place.
Sky’s own backhaul (connectivity to their own network and henceforth to the internet) is connected directly to the L2S/OLT gear in the said exchange and directly then to your place.
This is the same process and equivalence for all ISPs on the Openreach network whether it’s Sky, BT etc etc.
if everything is good now then it’s likely there was a pinch-point somewhere in Sky’s backhaul or own core network. No piggyback stuff going on.
How's the ping times?, Glad you've got the speed you wanted!. This fourm post has been funwell finally got virgin installed yesterday, kind of, problem with next doors meaning they are connected to ours tempuntil there new line (3 weeks ago it was put in) is fixed. all working as it should though, finally no more 36meg speed, got 500 now. i have been watching how quick openreach are doing heysham, rolling out at lightning speed
about 15-19. its a hub 3, to be fair i thought it was hub 4-5 for 500meg plusHow's the ping times?, Glad you've got the speed you wanted!. This fourm post has been fun![]()
Openreach FTTP, (BT) Never falls below 930 even through peak times, I get about 720 - 800 on WiFi,Hi , I've seen I can now get fttp here on Gringley road . Wish I hadn't got Virgin's gig a few months back now . But I do get around 940 down and 52 up so can't complain. But in 2024 I'll for sure be going to the fttp.
You're only guaranteed one of those if you take Gig1, as they're D3.1 modems.about 15-19. its a hub 3, to be fair i thought it was hub 4-5 for 500meg plus
Well if you're after latency comparisonsJust a brief comparison between VM and GPON
Yeah with VM my ping is around 30 ms upload 52Openreach FTTP, (BT) Never falls below 930 even through peak times, I get about 720 - 800 on WiFi,
