Infinity 2 speed

[Tomryan]

So, I ordered Infinity2 and was connected on 26th Feb waited the 10 days for my line to settle all the while the speed was between 40-48mb.

I got in touch with the online help on 9th March, and after half an hour of doing tests on both ends apparently, an engineer was booked to turn up for this morning...which i was waiting all day for to find out that they have cancelled.

ive tried going back to the help to just be told to do the exact same things. I dont see why they would cancel the engineer and not inform me. Meanwhile my 14 day period of cancelling is now over....!

I am currently in the master socket, and i cannot do a quiet line test as i dont have a phone. There is only this 1 PC through ethernet and 1 Mobile through wi-fi connected.

This wouldnt be bad if i was paying for Infinity 1, but i'm not.

What speeds were quoted on your order confirmation? Even though you are paying for Infinity 2 it doesn't mean your line can support it.

Can you post the results of this link but delete your phone number first   https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html

i would invest £5 and buy a corded phone in order you can check line for noise and in fact you actually have a working phone line as it is possible to get broadband connection with only 1 of the 2 wires connected but speed reduced. Phone needs both connected so no dial tone shows a line problem  it could save you getting charged £139 for the engineer callout

from your stats you are getting a connection speed just about your attainable speed suggesting as good as your line can handle - unless a phone shows a line problem

think my lowest line speed is 49mb

[Tomryan]

So if a phone shows up no fault, then its pointless me being on Infinity 2 as i cant even get Infinity 1 speeds?

[imjolly]

a phone will help you know if there is a problem internally restricting your connection speed

with the dslchecker results I would be phoning customer services and getting engineer visit as speed below minimum acceptable

[Tomryan]

Ive bought a phone and tried the line, im not sure what im supposed to be listening for , but i couldnt hear anything 😕

[imjolly]

if you do quiet line test all you should hear is the announcements - no hiss/crackle/background noise

[Tomryan]

I didnt notice any noise other than the talking
