Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

some people are just pedantic and look for problems and dont class £47 as being around £50, sad really.

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

Nah 50meg is a whole new service, well thats what theyre saying anyway.

dont know if its true, but i cant see existing 20meg customers paying the same for 50meg. Especially when trialists paid 10.00 premium over their 20meg price for the 50meg trial.

And personally, you cant get anywhere NEAR 50meg on a standard residential line in the uk. So the £47.00 pricemark id say is adequate. I reckon its for 2 things. 1 To say hey, weve got 50meg so up yours to the rest of the uk broadband providers and 2. for enthusiasts who want to say up yours to their fellow geeks by saying hey, ive got 50meg HAHA.

^latter has to be me :P but only if its on special staff price! wont pay more than £5.00 per month for it tbh.^

Wasn't there a suggestion that the 50Mb service wouldn't have STM?
(I'd expect that would be more of an attraction to the geeks and mega-downloaders than willy-waving.)
Or was it all just me dreaming wishfully?

:dozey:

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

Why? Do you really think you will be able to download stuff at that speed? I'd much rather have a symmetrical 20 or even 10 meg service.

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

Closest you're gonna get to Symmetric is SDSL. Sadly, i think it's only offered upto 4MB, and even then, it's restricted the same way ADSL is.

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

And do you think they will see that in the wild in say the next 5 to 10 years ?

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

Well im afraid £47 is closer to £50 it aint near £40 is it lol

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

and did i ever say it was? phaps u should re read the posts

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

Going off the current price list for *new* 20Mb customers (£20) 50Mb will be £30, taken with phone of course. ;) Has to be a bargain.

i completely disagree with u, theres no way in hell that they will charge JUST £30 for a 50mb service, that would be stupid of them and they would loose a lot of money.

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

If want to take part in the trial then you have to be in Ashford, Dover and Folkestone. This is all down to fact that these area's are only zones that has DOCSIS 3.

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

There again, loyal long term XL BB customers paying £37 atm would only have to find another tenner pm to upgrade to XXL BB whereas the bargain basement customers currently paying £20 will have to fork out another £27 pm to upgrade. This is of course IF the price is going to be £47 pm for everyone.
VM will probably see this as a benefit for being a long term customer. :dunce:

Re: 50 Meg, I want this >
 

When the 50mb is introduced then im sure VM will bring all the 20mb users down to a suitable price but theres in now way in hell that 50mb is going to be cheap.
