Businesses quite often use dedicated fibre lines via blown fibre, or they might run a solid 12 or 24 fibre cable which I think it what VM do regardless, but that's mainly for places like datacentres, police stations etc. That's my line of work anyway, but I know feck all about FTTC, we don't even blow fibre to these cabs or really ever go in them, seems to be another team. I did get trained on FTTP initially but I only work on Ethernet provisions now which is quite a bit different. I suspect a random engineer working in a cab won't know much, I get asked alsorts, usually accused of knocking off peoples phone lines or slowing down their Internet, despite working in an underground node at the time ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Have a click on that - if you put your details on it will tell you *exactly* which exchange you connect to, and if / when fibre services are available.
When we moved house, used this and it told me that there was fibre in the area, but the exchange was full for fibre. Kept checking on a weekly basis and then I got a heads up when Openreach had opened up more availability. ____________________ thx1138 wrote: Well if you had a car, I'd bet it would smell like urine had had drunken sex with vomit and made a poo baby.

I've had a reply off openreach, basically saying "No. Not now, not ever."
Redirection of effort now.
-Sent more enquiries asking if there's any chance they'll upgrade the line to ADSL2 instead. If that could bump up the speed to something actually usable I'd be happy. Since there's only me who needs lots of internets I'd be alright with 8mbit.
-4G, although I'd have to watch my usage. EE do this, 32GB download capacity for £28 per month. I think if I kept the torrents fully legit and paid for tv services to the landline I could manage with that.
Can anybody recommend a data monitor that I could use for a while to check my usage? ____________________ This post is probably not serious and shouldn't be taken literally.

I wouldn't pay much attention to whatever Openreach told you. It's a case of when you'll get fibre rather than if you get fibre.
You can monitor data usage in Windows by going to the 'Network and Sharing Centre' then clicking the name of the network that you're using.
32gb per month from EE? Windows tells me that I've used 10gb a day for the last couple of weeks. |

Errr yeah, pretty sure that it gets restarted when the computer is turned off and back on again. I just put my laptop into standby rather than shutting it down, I can get more detailed bandwidth stats from the router if I want to.
32gb a month would be quite possible but you'd have to be careful to avoid anything bandwidth heavy.
With just a bit of music streaming, occasional tv or film streaming, watching junk on youtube, watching the motogp, looking at a few BCF threads with many hi-res photos in them, etc etc and your 32gb will be gone before you know it. |

How do I make my demands? 4G router data limit is crippling. ____________________ This post is probably not serious and shouldn't be taken literally.

The last post was made 6 years, 120 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
