BT Infinity Install pictures

[richy22]

Can anyone on here who has BT Infinity take some pictures of the install if possible?? IE Faceplate, modems etc

Thank you please

 

[Rob]

I'll do it tonight?

If rob doesn't get home before me I will. The faceplate is the same, it's just different wires coming from inside that if you want those pictures.

Then you have a homehub and a white box modem.

 

[richy22]

Yep pictures of everything please would be great

Edit oh especially pictures of the back of the units showing connections etc if possible...The ones I can find online aren't very good.

Ahhh I forgot to mention...FTTP installs not FTTC

 

[welshname]

As far as I was aware there was no difference between the 2 other than the cable running to your house.

 

[richy22]

Totally different.

FTTC is fibre to cab and normal pair to your house.

FTTH is Fibre all the way to your house with an ONT (Optical Network Termination) which the box for is totally different (has an optical connector on it)

I'll have a look at mine tonight. Been a while since it was installed, but it may be FTTC thinking about it.

 

[richy22]

FTTC installs look like this internally?? (in your houses??)

 

[Rob]

Yep. Mine looks like that.

I'm not sure pal. Can't remember, all I do remember is having to drill through my porch for the engineer to run a cable back through. He could have been patching the test socket through to the office though rather than running the cable line.

Pretty sure though that it is FTTC. I don't usually venture into the office though so not 100%

I've got a picture of a BT 1U box in the bottom of a rack with a fibre pair in it.

Heres a tip, as soon as the 'engineer' leaves your house, put the Home Hub 3 straight in the bin.

Its utter garbage and plays Russian Roulette with your connected devices. I'm using an Airport Extreme and have had no problems whatsoever.

That said, I've had no issues with the Modem or the Infinity service itself. Little pricey though IMO.

This, but times two

 

[jonzz]

Ill have the homehub if your throwing it in the bin ! lol.

BT Infinity doesn't consist of FTTP? :S Not yet anyway unless you're on the trial?

Interesting. I'm having Infinity installed next week and my plan was to junk the Home Hub and connect straight to my Time Machine. I assume it will work exactly the same.
Agree on price but unfortunately I have no other option unless I keep my current 1MB (on a good day) broadband connection.

I've never had a problem with my HH3, there have been reports of some being faulty and BT are actually replacing people who have a certain version of it.

 

[...]

mines getting installed in a few weeks time and i'll be going straight onto a Cisco 887 , current adsl2+ 800 series cisco has been on for the last 3 years and has had zero downtime on the router or wireless , or current adsl is with Be and i'd have my fibre with them if they were planning it before 2013 , will go infinity till Be sort fibre

I don't understand why there doing FTTP, (never seen the internal cabling) but as your standard average joe won't understand about fibre optics, how fragile it is etc, can see a lot of faults arising tbh. FTTC would be fine for most people anyway, unless your far from a cab. IIRC you can't choose FTTP/FTTC anyway

Yep - exactly the same here richy...
