Broadband is, oh so slow, on Kings Hill

After 14 months I am getting used to it, but I couldn’t believe that a modern, seemingly hi-tech development like Kings Hill would have such a terrible system.  There’s not great news either, unless you have never heard of Quickanet, a not-for-profit business on Kings Hill that offers a self-sustained wireless broadband service for Kings Hill to some residents that can receive it via their rooftop (I think, don’t quote me but I know high rooftops can stop you receiving the signal!).  BT is introducing an ADSL2 servce laster this year but apparently that won’t solve the problem.  There’s miles of broadband cabling built into many/all of the houses up here but no-where to connect it to, and no-one that wants to invest.  We need our own exchange.

    I have an install date of 3rd January(my 12 month sky line rental expires 29th dec).
    Have gone for unlimited with BTvision as have cancelled SKY tv(no more Murdoch)
    Had a long coversation with BT yesterday and was told that I should be able to get infinity but won’t know until they try and install it
    I said what if I cant get Infinity,well we can give you normal broadband and I will get £500 compensation and slow broadband

    BT Infinity Install completed today with little or no fuss
    Down 37.5 and Up 8.00
    BT engineer stated there were only 100 slots in the cabinet, and we were the second install from that cabinet

    Infinity still showing as 2 April for me :( I’m next to the golf course, at Kings Hill Park.

    Infinity installed next week. I was unsure about switching but sky BB is too slow. I am curious as to how good the BT vision is
