New Infinity customer question.

Hi All, This is my first post so please be gentle...

I have recently ordered Infinity as it has just become available in my area,  All websites I have visited state I will receive the full 40Mb download. I understand it may not be exactly 40Mb but how accurate are the predictions?  I don't want to order and receive half the speed as it would not make sense for me to upgrade at all.

Thanks.

Re: New Infinity customer question.

The predictions are actually quite conservative. Have seen customers on here predicted 27 and got the full 40.

The reason being, is that the predictions are based on something like 90% of the ports in the FTTC being active. The more active circuits there are, the more cross talk interference there is. Cross talk WILL reduce the connection rate.

Vectoring technology is being worked on at the moment which will effectively negate cross talk but it's not needed at the moment :smileyhappy:
