Agree with the customer service point - BT are not known for their helpfulness. Always make sure you are aware of packages offered and charges involved as BT sales teams often gloss that over or don't seem very proactive in actually offering the best deal for the individual or at least (in my experience) for business clients...

It is, I know! I was told I could expect an extra ?3 or ?4 a month when I next renew but if I don't want the infinity service I could theoretically downgrade back to regular broadband. Totally agree it's inertia selling, but I'm making an effort to become a more proactive consumer so maybe I won't get caught out next year!


In case anyone else has received the offer and is considering it... Remember it's only free till your next contract renewal so get the timing right and do the upgrade after a contract renewal - I would have got 3 weeks free but by waiting I now benefit at no cost for a year. Also beware the requirement for 2 power sockets - I checked with 3 people about my set up (phone in the same place as hub and main phone socket therefore both power sockets in use) to ensure there would be no problems but when the engineer turned up... there weren't enough power sockets. Basically they say you need 2 power sockets near the main phone socket, and when I said the phone is in one of them they said that's fine but it's not - another example of a botched encounter with BT, albeit the engineer was cool and drove me down the road to buy a multi-plug!

  • 2 weeks later...

I only had BT land line, but rang to cancel the line recently to move to SKY total package. But BT offered Infinity for ?13 and the speeds are approximately 72Mbps down and 18Mbps up.


Please note that BT home hub is completely useless for WiFi purposes.

Well, Virgin came back to me saying that, surprise, surprise, their fix date for the fault causing slow speeds has been moved out to end of May - that means it has been going on since Nov, with fix dates continuously being pushed out...

Has anyone experience of Hyperoptic? https://www.hyperoptic.com/web/guest/home

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
