:D that's me sorted then (if it happens . . . ):D

Re: rumour of upload speed increase for 1Mb service - 256k to 400k
 

Exactly. I don't see how the UBRs could cope with an increased upload. And, as you say, they wouldn't be able to afford to upgrade.


I think the following probably kill-off this rumour....

As i stated i have heard nothing. I did talk to 1 of the managers involved yesterday about the upgrades in speed and he did not say anything about the upload going up. Now as we had a good chat about how we were going to handle this in my area you would think he would have told me if it was. I could be wrong you never know. :)

Re: rumour of upload speed increase for 1Mb service - 256k to 400k
 

yep, your less likely to suffer problems because of bandwidth congestion compaired to the other NTL areas.

but i still dont see it happening, as much as it would be a positive step and welcomed by many.....

I did hear this rumour a week or two ago and hinted about it in another thread - but I got shot down so I gave up.

BTW - what makes you think NTL have no money to spend on upgrades Kronas - did it occur to you that this might be why they are waiting before rolling out the speed changes - because they are upgrading stuff to cope better ?

Re: rumour of upload speed increase for 1Mb service - 256k to 400k
 

ask bbking, i remember him talking about how its not as simple as rolling it out when 1meg was going to be launched, it takes alot more then 'upping' the speeds.......

i just cant see it happening, unless they did change docsis, and if NTL did not upgrade docsis then made the stupid move of upping it to 400k expect a mass influx of new complaints about degraded service....

remember each upload channel is small 2-4mbit i cant remember the exact figure but it is between those two, have about 300-400 users (busy channel)

now you have 6-8 customers on 1meg and on 600k taking in to account constant uploaders and peak time usage its chaos if it was 400k.

Re: rumour of upload speed increase for 1Mb service - 256k to 400k
 

:Yikes: extremely busy channel! I can honestly say i have never seen a channel with more than about 250 users on!!
