Re: 81?
Could your comment explain my experiences already.
We live in Chester approx 120m from the cabinet. We've had ADSL from when it became available and have had a fairly rock steady 71 - 73Mbps connection.
For the last few weeks our speed has dropped to 67 which initially I thought might have had something to do with the fact we'd had to replace the BT Home Hub 6 because the 5GHz radio had given up the ghost ,(BT sent a free replacement - now on our 3rd unit)
Then last week I went out for a walk (passed our cabinet and noticed it had sprouted a Gfast pod.
Upon returning home I fired up the ADSL checker and low and behold Gfast has been enabled and checking with BT it is available to order for an extortionate price.
Surely as this new pod has only been installed for probably less than a fortnight and can't have had that many connections to it yet - the fact that it is there might have something to do already with our speed decrease of 5 - 6Mbps?
