If the peeps are using PPP to log in so terminating on a BRAS could pop them all into their own IP range and rate limit that range by IP, if using DHCP and straight Ethernet could isolate them in their own VLAN, if using any of the above and in possession of a DPI appliance could use that instead.

Is that how they do the boost down loads for 10 times a month. Just divert you to another Network area Or is it just an auto speed limit over ride so there networK just has enough Speed For every one when they all hit Boost on Thursdays at 5pm in Bournemouth. As every PS3 owner would use it for Demo Downloads...

Re: [Merged] 100mbps for Bournemouth

Hi all,

Just found this thread and am looking to spread the word. I have the fibre 100 in my house and it is every bit as good as advertised. Very keen to go into any detail if anyone wants to know more.

So far, very impressed.

Re: [Merged] 100mbps for Bournemouth

Hi Guys

My name is Paul and I am currently working for Fibrecity. I am currently the data controller for Fibrecity Bournemouth.

Things are going well so far and we are aiming to get 20% of Bournemouth signed up by Christmas. Some initial work has started in the BH10 and BH11 postcodes in Bournemouth and we will shortly be announcing the first service provider to use our connection. The provider is in place but as everything is still not finalised we are not at liberty to announce this at this time.

From the calls and emails we have recieved we can see that a number of people have questions regarding the work we are doing so I thought I would post here and see if I can get some answers to any questions or concerns you may have (especially those of you in Bournemouth who have not yet signed up!!).

I previously worked for Virgin Media BBI tech support based in the Albert Dock for 2 years and during that time have leeched on Cable Forum to see what was happening and have often found out many useful things while browsing the forums. Indeed that was how I cam across this thread.

So if you guys have any questions please feel free to post them and I will do my best to get the answers for you.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Hello Paul.
I live in the BH11 postcode and Fibre City have laid the cable and connected to my house - I now have the cable and connection box on the outside - I am not living in the property but will be moving in in May - can you tell me what I need to do now to get connected? I am presently with 02 mobile and they also do an Internet provider service which seems very good price but i am not sure if you are working with them as a provider? A bit of advice would be much appreciated please - thanks, Richard, Bournemouth.

Re: [Merged] 100mbps for Bournemouth

Peter,

Firstly may I congratulate you, you jammy Bar Steward,lol! Which BH area do you live as I am in BH11 and have a cable connected to my house and to the rest of the street for a at least 2-3 weeks and still have heard nothing, I'm glad that some people are getting from where I am to some thing that works!

Another question, I assume from what you posted that you picked the Fibreband 100 and I wonder why at Â£50.00/month when for Â£30.00/month the Velocity1 Big Bundle seems to give the same internet speed (with 1Gbps boosts) same No. of TV channels and phone, did I miss something? I ask as when I am finally connected that is what I was thinking of getting, well with the Â£10 add on for the extra channels (The only thing I can see is that Fibreband actually tell you what upload speed you will get of 10Meg)

Cheers

Re: [Merged] 100mbps for Bournemouth

Hi gents,

Apologies for delay in getting this but here is my speedtest result on the Fibreband 100 service.

ED209, in answer to your question, I'm only really interested in the broadband speed and found it quite refreshing to see exactly what I was going to get in plain English, without any *'s next to the speeds. So far I'm very impressed so won't be changing. I'm in the Oakmead gardens area by the way and am more than happy with the standard of the installation.

Re: [Merged] 100mbps for Bournemouth

Nice speed, peter - well done to you.

What do you pay per month for that, can I ask?

Impz, the prices shown there don't include the good old Â£10/month line rental!

As don't the prices on the below links,

or
http://www.fibreband.co.uk/ (They show it in smaller print next to main prices unlike the * of Velocity1!
