the sky fibre is tempting for ?10 a month for 6 months, if it is really unrestricted usage.
Unlimited normal BB yep with line rental, 12
month contract with 12 months half price BB.
Its good for the price...I'm happy with that
I paid the line rental for the year in one go which brings the price down to 14.95 a month
Its not as fast as infinity but its much much cheaper and has stayed locked at that since I got itLast edited by ETC; 02-08-2013, 12:50.

Has anyone had experience with BT Infinity?.
Here is mine: Ordered Infinity 2 start of last month, they confirmed my order and install(today). I called for an update they told me my order did not go through and had to replace it. So i cant get an engineer for the next 3 weeks and they want me to pay for it,
I cancelled after numerous failed phone calls which ended up in me getting cut off twice.
Emailed them tonight and I now face the prospect of no phone or broadband until I can get a new provider. The only other provider is Sky Fibre which I dont want to go with but now I am forced to do so.
So annoyed its unreal.

On the Internet side infinity 2 is OK. I was supposedly on a 78MB/20 connection but they said 38/12 would be about right. I got 21/4 most of the time at its best about 30/6 ?50+ a month.
I would take the gamble for the 6 month fibre deal if you can get it if not go with a stable quality normal provider (zen, vivaciti etc)
The engineer visit is to fit a new FTTC faceplate (its basically a microfilter faceplate) and configure your VDSL modem to the hub (infinity uses 2 modems and power supplies)Last edited by ETC; 11-07-2013, 20:50.

I'm on BT Infinity 2 unlimited.
It took 5 days from placing the order to a working 80/20 connection. The speed has dropped a bit to 70/20 over the last year due to crosstalk as more people move to fibre but has been 100% reliable. For ?26 /mth it is good value for me and you get BT sport for free.
It has a modem and a router but this should change soon as the homehub 5 has been announced which is a single box so we should see the 'cable only' install option return.

Well thats my Ininity finally installed after getting nowhere for over a month.
I had to email the UK Director direct to get anything done as BT Customer service are hopeless and simply dont care.
I emailed the director on Friday 4th and my Infinity was installed on the Tuesday 8th, thats within 2 working days. I had numerous ghost visits and order cancellations I lost count.
So after all that I have a quick question if anyone can help: My line can handle 79 meg but I am only getting 10-15 down/10up. Using BT's help software it states my speed should be around 50 meg down and 20 up.
So even BT are saying it should be better, any suggestions how I can improve my speed ?.
