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)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
