How accurate are the pre install speed tests?
I did it for my address and got a reading of 67Mb. After successive tests and reconfirmed by Sales of 67Mb, my order was placed.
It went through OK, then I received an email saying my expected line speed is 40Mb!
Is this normal sales tactics or a genuine mistake?

Hi les37b,
Your line is capable of 66.8Mbps, the email we sent you appears to have been an error stating 40Mbps. I'll have a look into this why, but please rest-assured that your line is capable of the 66.8Mbps.

OK thanks Chris.
I did ring and get told this in the end. Just seems really odd - and worrying at the same time! More a case of wondering if its a common thing!

What a coincidence. I have been estimated the same speed too. I hope I can get more since I am less than a 100 meters away from the fibre cabinet. But 67 MB is pretty cool for a start. When's your installation due les37b?

I'm about 1km from the exchange, so very happy to get that quote.
Installation hasnt been confirmed yet (I only did the order yesterday) but I've put it forward for 14-16 January. (Im in no hurry!)

Just to let you know that we're aware of this problem and we're investigating the cause. Problem #73879 is currently open for this.

I ordered yesterday too and have been given an installation date of 15th January. Looks like we might get activated around the same time.

With fibre it is the distance from the CABINET not the exchange that matters.
I am about 70-100M from my cabinet and get ~72Mb (varies from day to day, down to 70 up to 75 :D) But a lot better than 6 on adsl.
