Getting Infinity in a new build

So, I am moving into a new build where other houses on the street/estate are showing as being able to get Infinity 2, howver my house number cannot.  I believe this is because it doesn't have a phone line so it doesn't show up as available. I have booked to have a line installed and am hoping to then add infinity once it's activayed.  has anyone else had experience of this?  Am I likely to be able to order Infiity as soon as the line is active?
I can't believe its not possible to order a new phone line and infinity at the same time, but it seems like its a case of 'computer says no'
Solved!

I don't know if it is always the case that you must order broadband before infinity but others on the forum have reported that is what they have had to do. It may of course be that Infinity was not yet available in their area so had to do that as a stop gap.
I am aware that you don't yet have a phone line, it was to use after you had the phone line installed so that you could check you could definitely get Infinity. Obviously you can't check before you have a line. The best you can do is what you have already done and that is to check it is in the area.

  • Is BT Infinity Available to New Builds ...

    Hi,
    I know there are several posts about this, but 1 more wont hurt.
    I previously had BT Infinity, and frankly, loved it. I had the full 40 down 10 up and couldn't rate the service high enough. Perfect.
    I moved house a couple of months ago, to a new build - im connected to the Wantage exchange. Big Yay, its infinity enabled! A friend of mine lives just across the road, in one of the pre-existing houses and he has Infinity - I thought I would join up again after my awesome experience before! 
    However, it seems that I cannot get Infinity - for reasons I cannot yet fathom. The postcode checker states that its available in my area - I know this is not so reliable. I have also checked with my phone number which states that it is not. Strange.
    I had a chat with a few of the neighbours .. Also on the new build development ... in fact 2 doors away, and they are having Infinity installed ....
    So my question is ... What's wrong with me ... Do BT not like me anymore? Or, as I suspect is more likely, is there an error in the data somewhere and I have simply been omitted ... We were one of the last houses to be built so its entirely possible.
    In case the mods take pitty on me, I have PM my details. It would also be useful if you could let me know which Cabinet im on, there are 2 close by, both of which are the Infinity cabinets (Seem Like new installs as there are no older ones).
    Thanks
    Roebuck

    Just thought I would update this thread for the mods.
    I have had a phone line problem this week and have duly had an engineer out. All went well Phone is fixed - Even turned up on time!!
    Whilst he was here I cheekily asked about Infinity, which he stated should be no issue, as I practically live on the exchange in terms of cable length, and im connected to CAB 26, which is fibre enabled and right on the exchange.
    He did also state that the postcode in which I live does not exist on the BT and Openreach system - Odd, its been registered with Royal Mail for 3 months - new Sat Navs can find it ...
    Anyway, I will wait for the update from you guys, please bear the above in mind if you are checking any databases, I suspect they are incorrect.
    Thanks

  • Upcoming new Win 7 install - what do I need to get LR installed on new build?

    Hi there,
    I've been a LR user since the pre version 1 days when Pixmantec came on board. Have most recently upgraded my license to 3 and am running 3.2 presently.
    All of my installations have been on the same PC (running XP).
    I am soon going to build a new PC that will run Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The build will have new drives (2 SSD drives for OS/apps, working space; and a 2TB HDD for RAW/TIFF storage - backup will be to an external 2TB HDD).
    As this will be a completely new installation and not an update, do I need to contact Adobe in advance to get LR installed? I have all the old setup files for versions 1, 2 and 3, along with my original purchase receipts emails and activation numbers.
    Thanks,
    Dave M

    If you plan on copying the catalog folder from the old machine to the new one, once you have done so go ahead and check the permissions for the catalog folder to make sure the user account you will be using has full conrol over the folder. Otherwise Lightroom may crash whenever trying to open or modify the catalog. Log in as the top level account if you have more than one user account, make it the owner of the folder and and make sure any other accounts that use the program have full control over the folder. You can do that in the folder's Properties/Security tab.

  • BT Infinity for new build

    Hi,
    I've tried searching the forum but can't seem to find posts that are related to my situation.
    Basically I'm moving into a new build.  There isn't a phone line yet.  The postcode checker doesn't think BT Infinity is available, so I can't order.
    However, as advised by the FAQ at http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/BT-Infinity-Availability-FAQs/td-p/181603, I checked on the wholesale checker www.btwholesale.com/adslchecker and it says it's all available.  Any advice please?

  • New build flat with FTTP preinstalled, can't get i...

    We recently moved in to a new build flat, and had BT Infinity broadband and a landline in our previous flat.  To be fair, once it had been installed in the previous property, the service was absolutely fine, fast, etc., and almost entirely without interruption.  We called to arrange for our services to be moved to the new property, and an order was created.
    After moving in to the new flat, we discovered that an FTTP terminal had been preinstalled in all flats throughout the development (but we didn't really know what this was).  We checked up on the order on MyBT, and it seemed the order to move had disappeared, although our old services had been stopped and the cancellation order completed.
    From this point onward, we've been going through what seems to be the common unpleasant cycle of frustration.........trying the automated "help" line (it hanging up, returning to the beginning menu, etc.), unhelpful call centre interactions, not receiving return calls as promised/scheduled, etc..  Everyone we spoke with was perfectly nice, but provided no real information.
    During these interactions, I repeatedly mentioned the preinstalled FTTP and offered to give them the serial number, etc. but whoever I was speaking with didn't seem interested.  Apparently, our order was being dealt with by some sort of special engineering department, but we've never spoken with anyone in that department.  I was given a new VOL number, but that number isn't recognized.  After numerous phone calls, I was told to contact the FTTP sales department at 08005874787, which I did yesterday, and spoke with someone who was (by some distance) the most helpful and informative of anyone I had spoken with previously.  It might be obvious to some (but wasn't to us), but if you have FTTP in your home, call this number rather than wasting time with any other phone numbers, etc. (at least based on our experience) as communication between different BT departments seems poor at best.
    The current situation, as I understand it, is that the BT engineering department does not have an updated database that recognizes our newly built development's postcode, address, etc., and therefore the service cannot be activated (and this had resulted in a cycle of orders and cancellations).  We haven't been given a timeline for when this database update will happen (although from what I gather this could take anywhere from a week to months).  Virgin broadband has been activated without delay for many people in the development, but as we were with BT previously, we had hoped to just move our services.  There are hundreds of properties in the development, so BT is presumably precluding new or continuing business due to what seems a simple clerical/administrative/database issue - and Virgin clearly haven't had any problems.
    Apologies for longwindedness and any technical ignorance, but I thought this may be informative for others in a similar position.
    Some questions we have, if anyone has any feedback, it would be greatly appreciated..............
    - Because we have no idea of when the service may be activated, can we cancel our BT services without penalty (as they are currently unable to provide them and we are not under contract, unless the 'attempted' but thus far failed move means we are under a new contract again)?  In which case, we would simply switch to Virgin.
    - When transferring the services, we were also charged 65 pounds to move our landline, which we were told would be returned when our broadband was activated - are we entitled to a refund for this as well?
    - If we cancel, but need to give a certain period of notice (for example 30 days - I have no idea), but the services are still not activated during this period, would we be reimbursed?

    Since posting my original message, no progress has been made.  It has all been extremely disappointing, and nothing has changed whatsoever.  I have had to continue to call BT repeatedly, and it appeared as though an order was eventually created (previous ones had repeatedly failed and been cancelled).  An engineer visit was arranged for today.  The engineer was on time, friendly, and helpful, tested all of the equipment, cabling, etc. and said it was fine, contacted his support team, and was told that they were aware of a problem.  The problem, as told to me, was that a PTO (precision testing officer) has to go to the exchange and make sure the building is connected properly.  Why was an engineer sent, wasting his time and my time (with no apparent hope of success), when they knew what the problem was?  No schedule for when/if this will happen was given.  So ultimately, absolutely nothing has been accomplished in about two months (from when I first contacted BT to move our services).  I tried calling the order tracking number at 01325561339, and was hung up on while in the queue, so I have no idea what the status of everything is.
    It is abundantly clear to me now that the communication between different departments within BT is virtually non-existent - fairly ironic for a telecommunications company.  I've had to try and piece together what the problem is from talking to various people through this forum, phone calls, the engineer, etc. - surely not my job as a customer?  There are so many examples of poor communication within BT, and it is exhaustingly frustrating.  For example:
    - all flats in our building have the same preinstalled fibre-optic terminal (and therefore could be serviced by the same person), but multiple BT engineers visited multiple flats around the same time - why is this not coordinated?  Surely multiple appointments could be attended by the same engineer.  With such inefficiency, it is no surprise that appointments are only available weeks away.
    - Despite the fact that we are waiting for our services to be activated and currently have no services at all, I have been called by the BT sales team, asking if I would like to sign up (to which I responded that I'VE BEEN TRYING!!....although I never actually left BT as this all started as a home move), and I was also billed for two months of service (only noticed when checking my bank statement - my bills do not appear on MyBT).  This indicates to me that there is no communication between the sales, billing, and customer service/order team at all.  After yet another phone call to BT, they refunded the charges, but this clearly should not be necessary.
    BT can have all the call centers they want (and everyone I have ever spoken with has been perfectly nice), but if the staff have no information and no power to actually accomplish anything, it is all a waste of money and effort.  In the interest of fairness, when I have had BT services working, I have had no problem, but all I have attempted to do is have services moved from one home to another (with everything preinstalled - no physical work has been done or needed during this delay).  If BT cannot accomplish what should be a routine and straightforward task (in the middle of London), then they are failing miserably as a company.  When people laugh, roll their eyes, etc. when the name of your company is mentioned, you're probably not performing very well (it doesn't help when you spend billions on premier league rights while continuing to provide appalling customer service).
    At this point I don't even know who to contact so I'm posting here out of frustration.  Ugh.

  • Moving to New Build in 3 weeks from today and gett...

    Hi there, dont know if anyone can help me? I am moving into a new build flat in 3 weeks time, and I have in advance registered the address with Royal Mail which is on the system and searchable for people, however, when I have tried to search for broadband and phone from any provider it is saying the address isnt recognised and there is no services available. I am beginning to panic now as I have done everything in my power to ensure that the address is registered. I have placed an order with BT for phoneline and broadband and apparently this is with another department but I haven't heard any updates. I am just getting really stressed that I am trying to get things sorted in advance, and because its a new build I am going to end up with no phone line. I have been assured there is a phone line fitted, and the bt box is literally been built outside our front door, so i know that it is set up for the flat ready. Can anyone give me some advice? xx

  • New build estate

    Hello, I have moved into a house on a New Build estate on the edge of Carlisle which will eventually have approx 300 houses currently about 1/3 complete.
    Carlisle is an Infinity area but since moving in I have found that the Cabinet for the estate (number 140) isn't fibre connected.
    I have tried all websites but cannot fine any that give an estimate date of when our cabinet will be upgraded I have registered interest on various sites but would like a rough estimate as to when I'm likely to get a decent service?
    It just seems that an estate of 300 potential customers would appeal to someone but not to openreach it seems..
    Any ideas where to find such info please?
    Cheers

  • Openreach Issue with New Build

    I'm currently a BT customer (and up until now very happy) and am about to move house to a new build site in Worcester. I checked the broadband speed for the postcode and all is good, and infinity is available. However when I put in my exact house number, it is not available.
    Just to clarify, the build cycle is almost complete. Only 2 houses are still being built and almost all of the houses are now sold and lived in. The estate is basically a circle with my new house is in a cul-de-sac in the centre.
    When I go to search for the house next door, it can have superfast broadband and the previous house on the estate I was considering which is in a similar position to mine (i.e. built, ready and vacant) is also fine.
    Spoke to BT about the house move and they have basically confirmed that I can't get infinity. The best they can suggest is that I move, downgrade and then wait for my house to be upgraded.
    I'm convinced that the estate will be served by the same cabinet and it's clear that it has been upgraded. It is also clear that the builder would not have put in anything different for my new house as pposed to the others on the estate. I cannot believe that there is a reason why it superfast broadband shouldn't be available.
    I am also convinced that it isn't about waiting for the roll out to get to me if the whole estate can get infiity and we cannot.
    My biggest worry is that if I don't get it resolved before I move in, it won't get looked at after. I am sure the infrastructure is all there but that somewhere, someone hasn't done somethign they ought to have done.
    I got through to a technical support at BT who have suggested after moving in, I wait 48 hours for a normalisation to occur (although they are baffled why another empty house can have it and mine cannot) and suggested that I am free to cancel after 14 days if I cannot get what I want.
    But as the issue is more likely with openreach than BT, cancelling with BT isn't going to make much difference as the issue seems to be with the network backbone. I suspect the hosue just hasn't been registered on a system so it comes back saying it's not available when it is.
    So basically, I just wanted to ask if anyone else had any other ideas as to what I could do to get this sorted? Broadband is important for my ability to work from home and my family like to do a lot of netflix streaming and moving from somewhere where we get 60 Mb to 6Mb is going to be extremely annoying.
    Thanks

    Hi SunTzu,
    Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting!
    Sorry for the mix up about BT Infinity being available at your new house.  It's definitely a strange one as other houses in your area can get it and they'd be connected to the same cab as you.
    I don't want to speculate as to why it's saying you can't have it but if you send your details over I'll find out for you.  Click on my username and under the "about me" section of my profile you'll see the link to get in touch with us.

  • Help why I cannot get Infinity

    I am moving to a new build in calne wilts and half out of the 29 new homes can get Infinity while the other half does not show on the checker but tey are in no order just hit and miss so no reason why we can not all get Infinity. We all have the same postcode SN11 0FF and use the same cab so is it because we have not got a phoneline installed yet or any other reason but when I phone BT they just say you dont get Infinity  Help Help Help

    There must be two Cabs serving the 29 New house's, Your House must be on the Cab that has not been FTTC enabled yet.
    and if only one CAB then yes you need a phone line first ! thats how you receive FTTC or any other type of Broadband via a telephone cable.

  • New build installation - 4 months and still waitin...

    Hi
    As with many posts on this forum, we have a major problem with phone line installation. Back in April I ordered a new phone line to be installed, together with an Infinity broadband package, ready for my move into a house on a new development. We moved in on 2nd May and was told installation would take place on 23rd May. No engr showed and when I rang to query this I was told he was working on the exchange and I would be updated. Needless to say no update was forthcoming. When I called again I was then told that the developers working on behalf of the estate had not finished their side of the work. Having spoken to them, I found out the delay was being caused by OpenReach and the cabling was not completed. This story has now been repeated every time I call, and it is now coming up to 4 months since my order was placed. I keep being given a new installation date which is then cancelled a few days beforehand. The last straw has come today; I was due an update on the 23rd which was not forthcoming, I have now been told there will be no further news until 17th August! 
    The delay has cost us a fortune in mobile phone credit, along with buying and topping up 2 dongles. The phone signal here is almost non existent, and as both my son and I are disabled with chronic health conditions there is a major concern in case we can't get a signal. Back in May I collapsed at home, with no one else here. I was lapsing in and out of consiousness but managed to crawl to a door and get a signal to call an ambulance. If it happens again I may not be so lucky.
    How can BT and OpenReach justify the fact that it takes at least 4 months to carry out the necessary cabling work? People started moving into their new houses at the start of the year so why did BT decide it wasnt necessary to carry out the work in readiness for the new residents?
    One of the most frustrating things is that when we call BT, unless they speak to the OpenReach engineer there and then, they have no idea what is going on. The engineer may have updated the records two weeks before but we are never told what is still needed and why. I have called the engineer myself, but am told he cannot deal with individual queries, even though I am calling on behalf of a number of residents! BT have the monopoly on a product that they cannot supply - surely it is time to let other companies become involved in line installation, or are they scared they will lose out due to their own bad service?
    A number of residents here, including myself, are now going to escalate the matter to Ofcom, our MP and also the national media. Questions need to be asked as to why new build homes are without essential methods of communication for so long in this age of technology? We are also going to be looking at starting legal action against BT for not fulfilling contractual obligations, and claiming compensation to cover the mounting costs we are paying out. From the amount of postings here we are not alone in this matter, and surely BT can see this can't continue?
    Plese feel free to add your thoughts to this issue.

  • Cabinet invites me to get Infinity, BT say no!

    It's almost 12 months on from the last time I attempted to get Infinity and gave up.
    My street's fibre cabinets have been installed (Q3 2011) and the BT guys were working like crazy here a couple of weeks back running cables etc. In the past fortnight the two cabinets in my road have had big stickers put on them saying they're live and taking orders, yet BT still say I cannot have it.
    Despite speaking to people on the phone at BT, none of them can give a firm answer why. Some didn't seem to care and others seemed embarrassed by the lack of knowledge. They just keep pointing the finger at Openreach (granted it's OR who do the work but I can't believe BT Retail don't have the necessary knowledge.
    I note however, that every time I have spoken to someone they have asked "Is this a new build?" (it's not, it was 1960s).
    The line is BT but currently served through Sky along with the Broadband.
    I think there's a problem with the info BT hold about my line/premises so I cannot seem to get anywhere in my quest for Infinity.
    Can someone help please?
    Thanks

    Well your rollout phase is 5a, which is last year, also on another good note, your postcode is accepting FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) although it's stated that it's only scheduled as a partial deployment.
    I would contact the mods, some sort of confliction here: https://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

  • Problem with MSI 975x Platinum based new build

    I am having what looks like a familiar issue with setting up a new build PC. Spec is as follows:
    MSI 975x Platinum edition MOBO
    Intel Core Duo 2 e6600 CPU
    Western Digital Raptor 150GB S150 16mb 10000rpm SATA drive
    Corsair Memory TWIN2X2048-6400 2x1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5
    SONY DVD-RW
    The problem comes when trying to install Windows XP on the single SATA drive (I don't want a RAID array - mainly as I only have 1 hard drive!).
    I press F6 as instructed to install the SATA drive - I have created a disk with the necessary driver files from the MSI website.
    Based on other posts I have seen I have put all the files except "txtsetup.oem" in another folder on the floppy (either "\win_XP" or "\winXP"). However I still get the same error message:
    "file \x32\jraid.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in d:\xpspl\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c"
    I am beginning to think I can't install XP to a SATA drive.  Can anyone help with this? Is there an "official" driver floppy disk I can get from MSI in exactly the right format?
    Alternatively is it worthwhile buying a small standard IDE drive and installing XP to that to get me going and then install the SATA drive once XP is going? Would it then be possible to shift XP onto the faster SATA drive?
    Thanks

    if you using 1 sata drive you dont set it up as a raid , in the sata options set it up as ide enhanced also in this mode no need for pressing f6 just make sure that the sata is set to 1st boot hdd , if you using 1 sata and 1 ide hdd and tring to isntall on the sata disconnect the ide hdd because it will mess with your drive letters in windows ... if you goin raid ( achi mode is only for sata 2 drives with NCQ = native command queing and your drives have to support this mode ) then in the sata drives portion set it to raid ( achi if your drives support it )  in the force part set it to force gen 1 ( for sata 1 drives ) force gen 2 ( for sata 2 drives ) then you will need to set up the raid config in the intel raid config ( its the next post screen telling you press CTRL+I ) set it up reboot reneter bios set hdd priority to intel raid 0 then intsall windows but press f6 ... yes i ran it 2 ways single sata drive and now raided 80's in raid 0 ( i dont have NCQ support yet )

  • New Build using MSI 6600GT 256 PCI-E no Display

    Hi all,
    Please offer some advice and help me out please.
    Just finished a new build.
    Intel l775 p4 3.4 ghz on an Asus P5AD2- E Premium board, using MSI 6600gt 256mb PCI-E video card. 2gig Ram
    Done plenty of AMD builds using AGP cards so this is a little different for me!
    Have finished putting it all together.
    Upon power up for the first time im getting no output to monitor?
    card has Svideo out and two DVI conectors, im using an anoloug monitor using the DVI to anoulge converter thingy that is supplied.
    Monitor just displays no input detected, monitor is fine as works on old system..
    Many thanks
    Andy
