I'm usually on here asking for help or whinging so I thought it only proper to report some good news too..

After 3 or 4 installation days came and went, the engineer finally turned up today and said I'm the first in the area to get FTTC.

Here's my first speed check. It's all a bit incredible really as I'm used to no more than 2MB on ADSL

Good result.

I have found with FTTC that the speed will vary a lot depending on time of day.

Stop it, you're making me drool.

Now to think of things to do with it

Rik: There's hope for you yet!

Simon · May 09, 2011, 14:36:34

You think so?

Well, with regards to faster internets perhaps... not sure about the drooling

I think MK is earmarked for FTTP rather than FTTC so if you take it up you'll get 100 Meg Rik which blows FTTC out of the water.

I see the fitting time for FTTP is 7 hours, somehow I can't see it taking off in a big way yet.

Its a very limited trial I understand, I had indicated my interest to Zen but noone could come back to me with a price once the trial was over so decided not to.
