Re: BT Infinity

Margaret, did they have to run the fibre optic cable right to your house or just to the cabinet in the road nearby and then the old copper wire from the cabinet to the hub?
What I mean by cabinet is the green box that sits on the ground nearby and connects to the exchange.

There is a cabinet about 50 yards from me which is now connected to the fibre optic network, then copper wire runs from the cabinet through an underground tube to my house.
I was told that I cannot have BTinfinity yet as I am not on the network.
I get 10Mb download speed mostly and have unlimited download so I am not too bothered about upgrading when it is ready.

It is certainly fast enough to watch football on SkyGo via the laptop without buffering.
