    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    Finally completed the switch from BT 900 package to TalkTalk Future Fibre 500. Everything went OK on the day, the only issue was changing from PPPoE to DHCP but once that setting was changed it all just worked. I’m running the ONT connected to 3x Deco M4’s. It provides decent coverage across...

    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    That’s interesting - the ones I had were the black ones. However - it’s easily been a couple of years since I used them so no doubt have had firmware and potentially hardware updates in that time. So many factors involved but good to hear that they do work for some. Worth seeing if BT can supply...

    I would definitely agree with not bothering with the BT SH2 and the mesh discs - I found them unreliable and didn’t make much difference to signal. Although BT normally give them away free via chat if you complain. I’m starting to looking Ubiquiti UDR and some 6 Lite’s - not so much for better...

    What is your iPhone battery health (and how old)?

    Really quick - about an hour from checking it in. Make sure you backup just incase though!

    That’s impressive - speed is bang on. Strange one of the ping though. I gave up over the phone as they were just too pushy so resorted to cashback and online. TalkTalk Future Fibre 500 ordered with ~£112.50 cashback so should work out about ~£32 give or take plus the CPI rises. Scheduled for...

    What is your iPhone battery health (and how old)?

    Bit the bullet and had my iPhone 11 battery replaced yesterday for £69 from Apple. Was degraded to 76% so nice to have +24% extra again. Also treated to an Elago silicone case from the rainforest (£11.89) and iOS 16 - feels like a new iPhone ! Mentioned about the new iPhone 14 battery...

    What is your iPhone battery health (and how old)?

    Thinking exactly the same, currently on 76% but for £69 to get an extended lease of life it’s a bargain compared to spending ~£1k. The phone is quick enough, decent enough camera and no real stand out features on the new models to warrant switching.

    I tried to haggle over the phone and didn’t get anywhere. Any tips on how you managed to push them down to £35 a month? Comparing it to Vodafone? How you finding the broadband?

    That’s a seriously impressive ping - plus download/upload speeds. What setup do you have with router etc? My BT contract ends on the 8th October. So I’ll switch to TT Future Fibre 500 at the start of September. As long I get the order placed by 8th Sept it’ll give 30 days notice

    Tempted to do the same - when do you switch? There’s also cashback available over £100 which does make it slightly cheaper than £32 but equally it might not track/paid. Currently on BT Gigabit but overkill for our needs and 500/70 would be a better option for nearly half the price. Anyone...

    Toyota have upped the Circuit pack base-white price again to £35,610 which might have contributed to it…

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    Thanks for confirming - definitely going to switch as that’s a bargain come October. Have you considered Tracker for Gas?

    Looking into this but apart from that post from the Octopus rep I’ve not seen anything else which confirms the units being fixed for 12 months. Have you confirmed it with Octopus or seen any other T&Cs?

    Toyota Yaris GR4 4x4 Rally going into production.....

    1 year old, 1st service + safety check @ ~2,300 miles An absolutely fantastic car but just doesn’t get that much use during summer months as it contends with an 1988 Austin Mini and 1989 Eunos Roadster. Rallye badge added to give a nod to the Australian variant and helps balance the rear end.

    What is your iPhone battery health (and how old)?

    Launch day iPhone 11 ~13/10/2019 I’m planning on picking up the next gen iPhone later in the year. However, I’ll probably get the battery replaced with Apple soon… as it’ll be handed down to my Mam.

    Intrigued by this as well. Be good to hear if anyone has had experience of Cazoo?

    I’m crossing fingers… sent the email two days ago but must have thousands of messages to deal with. Similar question asked here… https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6298836/octopus-flexible-tariff-no-longer-on-offer But would like it confirmed by Octopus

    Same position here, waiting to here back from Octopus that will go onto standard tariff (which it should do as that’s the default if no fixed tariff chosen)

    Just noticed Octopus have pulled the SVR option. Our fixed tariff runs out in October, and was planning to go onto it which was the default option - still hoping that’s the case. Guess it’s been removed to avoid any new customers coming over on it
