I think this is coming down the copper phone line ADSL2+

Re: Check This Out
 

adsl2+ cant do 100meg.

If it isnt docsis3 the only way that seems feasible is fibre.

Re: Check This Out
 

for pitys sake try to keep up people its been on their website at least 3 months http://www.business.ntl.com/ethernet/metro.php

no secret no one has to kill anyone :dozey:

Re: Check This Out
 

Erm, because NTL businees uses a method to deliver 100 Meg + broadband, it does not follow it would be feasible (or even practical) for NTL home to offer it. Remember, businesses can (and do) pay £1,000 + a month for connections. I cannot imagine the average home consumer wanting to pay even £100.

Re: Check This Out
 

Clearly no one followed that link to the ntl business site... That service is for connecting two diffrent sites within a business together on the same network. It does not include internet access...but the companies' own network traffic.

If mid/large companies want net access this is what they would go for:

Re: Check This Out
 

precisely Stu !! as you say its a 'businees' service with high-class video-conferencing not yer 'average home consumer' service

Re: Check This Out
 

Yeah, but the original article in post 1 seems to be suggesting they are trialing a 100 Meg home service. They have been able to offer fast links to businesses for years. *If* they are trialling a 100 Meg home service, then they would have to bring prices down to the point where using the same hardware they use for business may not be feasible.

Re: Check This Out
 

Well if its fibre how much would have to be laid to fund a ntl home service? If they do this would we see ntl relaying cables in analogue tv areas to support digital tv?

I am very suspect about this, ntl appear to be repeating history by rolling out new technologies without ensuring their existing footprint has a universal service, I wonder if we will have some areas with 100mbit internet no speed fluctuations, digital tv + vod. Other areas same price with 10meg lines that cant hit 1meg and no digital tv. I would like to see ntl sort that out first.

Re: Check This Out
 

I wouldn't mind 100megs... the only thing is.. our poor delapidated modem (which needs a good kicking) can't see past 2.6megs....

but a hearty golfclap about the 'p*ss up' and 'brewery' :)

Re: Check This Out
 

Miles off that's been available for ages, point to point connections. :dozey: back at you. For pity's sake RTFM.

It's not fibre and chill out, it's a trial.

ADSL2+ according to the national frequency plan can't go above 24Mbps downstream 1.3Mbps upstream.

Re: Check This Out
 

VDSL.

Re: Check This Out
 

*Family Fortunes sound*

Unlikely to be VDSL(2).

Re: Check This Out
 

:erm: plenty to choose from then you missed out the 'quite' b4 DOCSIS ? http://www.arrisi.com/press/pressdetail.asp?id=268

Re: Check This Out
 

English please.

Anyway grats, a couple of links to DOCSIS 3 kit, a broken (at the moment) link to CED magazine, and a Cisco guide to backhauling existing cable networks with metro ethernet and using traffic aggregators, which will have about as much chance of accelerating people to 100Mbit on its' own as someone lighting their own flatulation will have of taking them to the moon.

I fail to see what this supports, you said it was the point to point metro ethernet product, now you're trying to say it's DOCSIS 3.

Being argumentative for the fun of it isn't big or clever dude. Though there's most of the potential options gone.

Meh this is silly.

As I don't 'know' this for a fact and it wasn't discussed while I was there I guess no NDA applies as this is just what I think based on my knowledge of the systems.

Re: Check This Out
 

Thanks, Ignition.100Mb downstream, and 100Mb upstream. Looks promising.On a moaning note, why do people insist on using completely meaningless thread names, e.g. "Check This Out". Tells you nothing - wouldn't "100Mb broadband" be more interesting, and actually get read by people?
