Hence the proviso above.:D

Why? Your copper/ali line will still be there.

Quite.

So the optical convertor is on the pole along with, say, 6 phone connections. What will BT do? Connect the converted signal piggy back onto each phone line? And how does that not then microreflect over the aluminium to the cabinet that iit doesn't need to go to?

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

It'll work the exact same way FTTC works now. There is no "optical converter". There's a DSLAM for data. The analogue POTS phone line is continues to work the same as it always has.

Seph, have a look at the telegraph poles in your street. See if a bunch of lines meet at a specific pole. That's likely going to be where your DP will be (guessing!).

Thanks for the replies. But I haven't had the question answered (you don't have to, of course).

Fibre comes to the pole with a DSLAM on it.

That has to be converted to RF for the copper to pick up.

To avoid anything Broadband going back to the street cabinet and causing micro-reflections, they'd have to have frequency filters put in. Yes?

And would they as a matter of course tap each copper pair into the DSLAM irrespective of whether the customer was on BT Broadband?

Thought they rolled it out for a second!

Checked my config still the normal 152mbit one so it's an erroneous speedtest.net result.

I was amused at "faster than 93% of GB"!

And here I am stuck on 10Mbps after boasting for years about being able to get triple-fibre.

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

sweet, at least we can end the speculation now and we know what the new tier is going to be.

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

No we can't, all we know is they are testing something along the lines of 300/15.

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

which is what we expected (I had hoped for 300/20) so I very much doubt it is going to change.

If they add upstream channels, mon General ......

I am sure we were saying that this time last year and I am still on 2

I have a very strong suspicion you are wrong there, Sir.
