if they are, they will be closing just above 7800s

on the flip side, if a buy call comes just sub 7800s, they will buy that this time. But i wont be around today to know if they do or not

I have to go do a speech for a charity, and then attend church

...

After morning dip, consolidated nicely across top of their short target price. I'd say they bought. Hopefully nobody misled on other threads

Davius, correct, the solution needs further iteration by BT. A friend also has fibre from a competitor, no ONT box needed like Openreach. I also don't like how Openreach say it's policy to leave the cable to the right of the outside grey BT duct! All the cables were inside the duct before. Nothing stopping someone cutting the cable now.

I was on Fibre 1 (copper to house) but for some unknown reason BT just upgraded me to Fibre 2 shortly after for free, was getting around 60/20. The upgrade to full fibre gets me 80/20 no extra payment was requested as they essentially pushed digital phone/voice, which means you're signing up to full fibre like it or not; I'm actually getting about 14mbs extra due to the upgrade (essentially Fibre 2 speeds advertised as 74mbs) but latency is ~3 times less, so browsing actually feels much snappier, I'd imagine multiplayer gaming will top drawer now. For a few extra quid l can get 150/30.

We are totally bombarded with Fibre in London. Two new ones Community Fibre and Hypnotech who I'd never heard of chucking mail through the Door every Week. There isn't much on price between them all but I use Virgin because I get a package deal, but they are on the whole all pretty good, including BT.

We switched to full fibre a couple of months back. There has been fibre to the exchange for a while but not to the house. Some local houses have recently been upgraded, so when it came to renewing our contract with Vodafone I switched us to full fibre. Openreach subcontractors turned up and sorted the cabling in about 20-30 minutes. I'm guessing Smurfy's comment relates to the twin wall boxes and little fibre wire running from one to the other, which is apparently easily broken, and perhaps the need for power to the wall box as well.

The old contract was 65Mbps, we used to get about 40Mbps, under fibre we have 100Mbps and when downloading a movie for example, get the full data rate. In fact whilst typing this I just ran a speedtest and it reported 108 download and 19.4 upload, so personally I'm really pleased.

When the copper phone system gets turned off at the end of next year, and everyone using a land line is on fibre for calls and data, the hefty upgrade costs should start to pay off big time.

Don't you have a sock drawer to go to?

Upgrade is often mis understood...what it really means and what you really get?...

[netcurtains] 19/4/2024 13:00

Sounds bad for you but good for share price

[smurfy2001] 19/4/2024 12:45

Got my full fibre connection, not happy. It's not an elegant solution ! It's faster than copper to the house and l didn't need to pay for the upgrade.

Neck still stuck out #BT #FTSE -

yes I know about Israel, Iran, Ukraine, and inflation, and cost of living but I see OpenReach vans all over the UK and the company makes money.

Currently BT is valued less than Rent-O-Kill..... Its cheap and I believe its at the bottom!
