The install happened to today and it all went flawlessly. Unlimited Infinity 2, with 57Mbps, and all for only £13.25 a month. Tops!
:T

Is there really such a thing as Infinity2 if so what is and is it any different to the mythical Infinity1. Read a lot about it on the BT website but to me a bit like dragons and UFOs, a bit of a mystery.;)

Hi CE,

Infinity 1 = up to 38Mbps and a limit of 40GB per month

Infinity 2 = up to 76Mbps and unlimited usage.

I believe the BT Home Hub 2 was the last to support a BT Broadband Talk phone 'line', so this upgrade (which requires the BT Home Hub 3 and the Infinity box) will lose me my second phone line.

£30-odd? REALLY? Who's your provider and what package are you on, southern84?

I got the letter too but as my contract is about due for re-newal i enquired as to how much it would cost, to be informed that my discount would be no-where near what i'd get for normal broadband. I told them until it is the same cost, i am happy how it is. Isn't it a coincidence that I got the free upgrade a few weeks before my contract is due for re-newal. :A

Hi leckl, did they say how much it would actually be? Because I know some BT Vision users who pay as little as £14 a month for unlimited BT Infinity.

Infinity 2 requires fibre optics to your property and not a junction box a few hundred metres away. One of my neighbours has just gone for it and considerable underground work was required. I've just signed up for infinity 1 at my existing contract price of £10 per month, looks to be a good deal with no extra charges for length of existing contract (12 months).

Hi nickcc,

I've posted a link above, in post #23 as to exactly what BT Infinity 1 & 2 are. And it also gives info on the service your talking about, too. Which is known as Infinity FTTP (fibre to the premises) which gives speeds of up to 160Mbps, for £35 a month.

Hello VisionMan

BT told me that the max speed I could get on existing wires was 38 Mbps due to the distance from the Fibre JB so I would have to opt for Fibre feed direct to my home if I wanted a faster broadband.
