I soon found out that BT were limiting me to 10MB a month, whereas Orange hadn't.

Every month I got close to exceeding my monthly allowance despite rarely watching BBCiplayer and never watching live news (which I did often previously).

I felt cheated and wished I had at least explored the option of Virgin cable (which is available at my address)
I am tied to an 18 month BT contract.

The options open to me were - put up with the inadequate 10MB or pay an extra £5 a month to get 40MB.

Then news of Infinity arrival reached me on this thread, so I looked at what it offered.
I found that I could get Infinity for that extra £5 a month, along with the 40MB.
The forcasted speed for my address far exceeds what I get now (can't remember precise figures quoted)

So I have signed up for it.

The difference between the upgrade to 40Mb(broadband Option2), which before was my only option, and the Infinity, is a one off payment of £25 for an engineer's visit and a different home hub. The price of both is £18 a month. There is an ever faster Infinity option with no download/upload limit , but that costs £26 a month.

There is a video on the BT website which explains what the engineer does at the home visit.
I will be switched on to Infinity on 18th July.
Doesn't sound bad that Margaret, I had been thinking about increasing my download capability so I can connect my hub to my Sky HD box which will enable me to access more films when I want them, think I'll sign up myself
