And that up to 80 meg actually means you'll get about 5

The difference on the fibre stuff is that the bit slowing you down is the copper from your house to the box, not the distance to the exchange. So assuming they are doing the normal fibre to box setup (which is what they're advertising by the sounds of it) you should get decent speed unless there's really dodgy cable or distance to the nearest box. So far I've had reasonable speeds in peak hours too and in a town that's only just got fibre you shouldn't have too much contention until BT up the speed to 300mb in 2015

If you're signing up for the 80mb service, make sure you get the full unlimited one.

Only downside of BT fibre is BT unfortunately. Terrible company, but they've got the monopoly so not a lot you can do.

We had a terrible internet connection up until last year.  I was paying for broadband, but was getting less than 1mb, with it disconnecting constantly.  It was very frustrating!  I waited for BT Infinity to come out and got it last year, and am now getting regular speeds of around 35-40mbps.

I dont mind what speed we end up with as long as we get a speed than  this rubbish.........and the price?
I`ll just up my sons share of the costs to cover it all 

I've just finished my Finals!! A week of horrible exams and 7 years later I've finished my degree!! Let's just hope I pass!

Now you have the first degree out of the way you will find the second one much easier, trust me

Beware of the third degree though

Well done for getting the exams finished - what is your degree in?

.................... found someone selling NINE Farish PGA hoppers in the livery I've been slowly collecting a rake of for the past year - 50 quid and free postage! 

Needless to say I couldn't press the buttons on my Blackberry quick enough That's another rake of stock now completed.


Paul

I nearly bought those too but had just bought the 11 he had for £60 all in 

Nice one

I already had 15 of the grey ones and only needed nine more, otherwise I'd have to invest in another stock-box from JB's just for two extra wagons 


Paul

Thanks everyone! I did veterinary medicine so soon, if I pass, I be treating all your cats and dogs (so watch out). It's been really hard but will hopefully be worth it in the end.  Results in a week.
Now if Farish would only release the class 20's and 08 as a nice congratulations present.

I'm going to Amsterdam tomorrow for a week to a conference and I've not been on a plane in 10 years! I am pretty excited!

You'll be fine too I'm sure. They don't crash as much as they used to
