Hi All,


just thought I would share my experience so far with the Openreach Fibre/VSDL service that is in the area.

Open Reach have opened the wholesale market so its not just BT that sell the infinity product.

I took the service with Sky because its cheaper than BT and truly unlimited with no traffic management or acceptable usage policy and only a 12 month contract.

I live about 200-300 metres from the Fibre Cabinet was told I would get 40Mbps. Running several tests this is the case time and time again, so very impressed. Ive been looking at the Open Reach modem logs and it determines the maximum attainable is 91Mbps so im quite impressed and eagerly awaiting sky to release their 80/20 service.


If you are close enough the a shiny new cabinet then it will probably be the same for yourself if its speed that you need. Those that are quite far from the cabinets might also benefit from significantly increased speeds maybe not as high as 40Mbps but still a great deal than your current speed. :)

Most of Dulwich should be covered for BT Infinity (According to BT)


With 2 wire Copper. Normal Telphone Service and Broadband ADSL should work up to 3 miles from Local Exchange.


With BT Infinity, It will be Digital from Local Exch. to Cabinet in your road and the 2 Wire Copper into your home.


Normally in this area by Telegrapgh Pole.


All should be OK but I doubt you will able to get the 40mbs BT Claim.


The attenuation even 100-200 yards of copper will reduce this conciderably.

I think BT may well be offering Fibre to home at some point Infinity 2?

My biggest beef with standard broadband is that speed depends so much on the phone line from your house to the pole.

Of cource BT never admit that the line from my house is crap (yet everybody else I know it my street has no problem)

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
