I prefer them just capping the speeds.. some months I have downloaded over 500GB lol
But then I pay for the top service because I know I am a heavy user. I could pay for the lower service and leave it downloading 24/7... i'm considerate like that
Clio 182, Astra Sri
I've experienced throttling from 3.7mb down to 15kb
Way more than 50% reduction in speed
Torrent program traffic is targeted more though I suppose

Just a heads up. If anyone is on infinity you can log into your BT account tomorrow and upgrade to 80Mb for free (although it starts a new contract with them).
Indeed
I get attainable of 72mb so it's worth the new contract as I've only had Infinity 3 months lol - cant beat 12MBps
I'm also on 100MB.
Was downloading a file (50GB) @ 12.5MB last night
100MB VM package
Wireless
iPhone - 35-40MB
iMac - 35-40MB
LAN
iMac - 85-100MB
A bit annoyed with my wireless speeds though, tried playing with the router settings and changing the frequency to 5GHz but for some reason that kicks off my iPhone (doesn't even see the wireless network) but the iMac wireless increases by 3-5MB...
I've just ordered some powerlines.

The iPhone doesn't support 5GHz over 802.11n
That would explain why it doesn't see the router then
I would have still thought the connection speeds would have been better than 35MB though over wireless. Sucks, because I've just had to spend another £35 to benefit the full 100MB, losing 10MB I could live with but losing 50-60MB is silly.
We've just renewed our BT Infinity contract and should be on ~60-78Mbit within 3 days, 20Mbit upload too, sweet!

The limit with those speeds is pretty standard tbh, you'd be lucky to see over 35Mbit!
Mine was predicted around 62mb. Having logged in to the modem my attainable rate is 72mb so I'm hoping the speed will increase over the next 10 days. My IP profile is 66mb on BT Speedtest. Iv only had Infinity 3 months so it was a no brainer really. The upload speed is also good on BT compared to other providers which is helpful with Dropbox.
Been predicted 57/20, but by the looks of it being very very close to cabinet should get a lot more
I usually get the max 38/39 + 9 so touch wood! Should be done by Monday!

We're 8 months in, but we renewed, still not got it yet but should get it tonight. At the end of the day there's nobody else offering any such speeds here so a new contract is fine for us, I know Sky are bringing their fttc out which i believe is using the same stuff, but we've had absolutely no problems with BT Infinity so no reason to not stay with them
Depends what you use it for tbh, I would not be happy with that at all but then I have 2 other people using the internet and I use lot of bandwidth
More than happy with my talktalk connection. Costs fcuk all really compared with what i used to pay and the speed i used to get with BT.

Got to say I agree, I was going to move to Sky on Friday, but by the time I lose the free flickr you get with BT the saving is minimal, especially when BT have been spot on so far which is worth more than a few £ a month saving.
^ How do you get free Flickr?
My result from "up to 78mbit", not bad to be honest, may settle down as I did a restart during peak time, so we'll see, but tbh I'm happy with that.
Upgraded my infinity tooo...
This is what I hope mine will come out as, not sure why the download is so slow to be honest!
Mine hasn't been reset yet so I did the reset at 6pm today, so hoping I connected a bit lower than normal as my Upload is on par, but the download is a bit pants compared to what it should be!
Nuts hey?!
Apparently there is nothing wrong with my speed though as the router shows its connected at 8 meg (according to the retards at sky). Yes I KNOW thats what the router says but thats not what im seeing.
"Are you saying it feels more like 1 meg rather then 8 meg sir?"
NO im telling you what it actually is FFS..there is no "what it feels like" this is what it is.
Its like banging your head against a brickwall. Im gonna bring our new toy home from work and test the bloody thing myself as they are sooo incompetent.

I had the same problem with orange. Running at less than 1 meg and being told the line was at maximum.
It was only we enquired about changing with Sky and they went ahead and switched the line anyway, I started seeing around 12 meg which is a BIG difference. We moaned at Sky as we hadn't authorised it, got 6 months free and stayed with them anyway

Plusnet had a major outage today. I'm guessing lots of people still cant connect because my speed has jumped up a bit.
