I thought you were moving to Home Essentials which is much cheaper?

Hi Kitz

Don't worry once my FTTC 80/20 activated I leave it alone. I am not looking at the stats anymore. As for DLM - the FTTC 80/20 will be new service and DLM will resetted like an open profile for any migration. I will know the FTTC will be sync at 79999/19999 at all times and no more SRA or FRA like my past G.fast (no longer have that and I will never go back to it until FTTP come along and I will have FTTP 80/20.
 
I don't get free dentist or free prescription. I have to pay.

I will be happy with FTTC as you know I used to be with Plusnet for 7 years as DLM only action twice in that period.

I am on the ESA Support Group Indefinitely and I do pay the rent to the landlord myself as the housing benefit paid direct to my bank.

@ Max - your last reply crossed with mine.   It takes me ages to type these days and I had to stop for a while.

Yes it dawned on me that you must be in the support group.... and why I asked about prescriptions as a double check. There are quite a lot of things that you wont automatically qualify for, which most other people think you will.  If I'd known you were in the support group I would have told you months ago that you cant get Essentials.  :/

You seem to have got yourself a god deal with PN.  I hope it all works out well for you. Some of us though are concerned about you reaction to DLM. 
I used to be able to get 80/20, but Im currently capped at 60 and have been for ages.   I should really chase it up, but in all honesty the cap makes no difference to what I can and cant do ... and its not something I notice as it has no effect on what I use my connection for.   If anything it g.inp high that I notice more than the cap, but I really cba with the hassle of Openreach engineers etc so its low down on my list of priorities.

You've been through a bit of a bumpy ride with g.fast,  I'm hoping that going back to standard vdsl will enable you to worry less about your speeds....  and that ftth will eventually arrive at Cuckoo Oak.   Mind you when it does then there will no doubt be a price rise.   I'll be watching with interest how much you manage to get that for :D

Yep indeed. I am glad to have FTTC back  ;D I just now sit back and enjoy all the Netflix, NowTV, You tube and pc. No need stats now as it will stay as 80/20 for many years to come. Keith told me after 12 months contract, revert to rolling on monthly contract with same monthly fee.  ;)

Which router are you using?

My Netgear D7000 did not survive a local lightening strike, and my hasty replacement a TP Link VR600 does not do detailed stats!
