FTTC in St Andrews

My broadband seems to be getting slower and slower. A few years ago I could connect at 11Mb/s, but now I’m lucky to get 7Mb/s. I searched for something better, and was was pleased to see that St Andrews now has FTTC available.

I rang my ISP this afternoon to see what they could do, and the result is that we’re being upgraded to FTTC on Monday 8 September. Apparently we’ll need a visit from a BT engineer to fettle our master socket, and AAISP will send me a new router.

We should get around 40Mb/s, with the option to upgrade to 80Mb/s. Looking forward to it.

Ooh thanks for heads up! I've just checked our exchange/number and we can now get fibre too, and our ISP site confirms it. We live in Dundee, but on the very very edge of Monifieth, and fibre must be a new option here. Will chase up! And hope yours goes swimmingly fast :)
