Re: 200Mb trial
 

I'm on the 20Mb service and just signed up for the trial. Here's hoping I get picked!

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Personally i think this does look good, however they should concentrate their efforts on upload, the way people use the internet is changing, therefore greater upload speeds would be required more by the customer (even though some dont realise it).

Upload speeds never get the marketing they should. This will change in the coming years.

Re: 200Mb trial
 

BT Infinity is changing that already by advertising up to 10Mb upload.

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Good point. I really appreciated the extra ooomph during the 5Mb upload trial. eg Gaming, but also seeding bittorrents after download. I got up to my 1:1 share really quickly so I could remove the torrent file pronto. ;)

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Well let's hope they do some trials around Belfast, i would be more than happy to test higher uploads :)

P2P gaming on steam and web designers will surely be happy :)

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Would be nice if they did some trials in the Neath area, we always get left out, being a small area I would think it would have been a nice place test in.

Would love to trial the 200mb or even just a faster upload on the 50mb service ;)

Re: 200Mb trial
 

what the point of 200Meg for ? We don't need 100, 200, 500, 700 meg or 1TB meg ! I love 10 Meg as 10 Meg is better !

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Why have 10mb when you can still use dial up :p:

Once more people have faster speeds then there will be future services that will take advantage of it. If it wasn't for speed increases there would never have been a YouTube or any other photo/video sharing services, you never now what new services will pop up in the future once the infrastructure is there.

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Well the problem is there are services available like online backup and P2P gaming that are being restricted due to upload speeds. Download speeds will give us more IP-TV services and SIP voice services.

Better still, semaphore. It's free, once you have made your own flags. There is no speed cap. You can wave your arms as fast as you want.

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Terrabyte-megabit, that's new :rolleyes:

Things move forward with time.
If they didn't we would be all with black and white TV and dial up.

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Ok so I like broadband, but I do miss the sound of the modem dialing up and connecting. There is just something nice and geeky about it. :)

Re: 200Mb trial
 

Is the Trial for a specific area?? i suppose it will be.
On the 50meg service here and it works well 90% of the time.
