My 3g on my iphone runs twice as fast as that lol.


Ring sky, i complained at running at 3mb, the woman on the phone pressed some buttons down her end and said do a test now, 9mb boom, that was over a year ago.

200kb/s is pretty much a good day here.

yeah will do it Monday. A few roads down they have fibre optic.

Mine seems fine.

Seb, you don't actually need a fibre optic line to your house anymore. As long as the local exchange is enabled with fibre optic the rest comes down your standard phone line. FTTC its called.

Wrong.

FFTC means Fibre To The Cab. Ie the green cabinets on the side of the roads. Nearly every BT exchange is actually connected via fibre thats was what BT's 21CN "Network Upgrades" were actually all about. Its all about whether your nearest cab (or DP (Distribution Point)) has all the kit in not whether the exchange has fibre.

Thats what I meant, i just said exchange instead of cabinet. I knew it meant Fibre to the cab. But from the Cab to my house is a normal phone line.
