You would not.

Was I right, then?

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

Somebody mentioned to me.

100Mb
200Mb
300Mb

all in Capped/uncapped flavours.

Also on the way is SH3 and a new Tivo

So what, there's going to be 6 tiers? And by cap, do you mean hard usage limits or STM?


I've heard about the new Tivo. I hear it's going to be a bit of a downgrade from other TiVo's.

I doubt it, we all suggested that years ago when they introduced stm on 50mbit (top tier at the time) and everyone who worked for VM said it was not feasible and people wouldn't pay for it bla bla bla. If think there is enough demand for it and customer would pay for a truly unlimited service then that shows customers want it and VM should make it the norm/standard and scrap stm altogether.

What I can see them doing though (and what they do in the USA which ties in with VM's parent company) is having monthly usage allowances. 100mbit will be the new lowest tier which they can advertise as being faster than BT et al and it will be £10/month with a 30gb data allowance.

What does that mean, Kush? What have you heard about this "downgrade"?

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

Mostly that they're doing away with the dedicated modem in favour of Wireless.

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

General, bandwidth became cheaper, customers still didn't want to pay more ;)

Regarding VM's parent, they are of US heritage but have no operations in the US cable market. I suspect http://www.upc.ie and the rest of the family are a better place to look for comparisons :)

looking at ups offering its 10% upload on 240mb down. so 24up, would the 330 package offer faster upload that the 16mb thats been quoted/seen in the wild?

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

Until anything has been announced, people are just going to be guessing. However, the best guess at the moment is that it's going to be 300/16, not 330/16 and not 330/30 or anything like that.

At least for now.

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

My connection is 666Mbps

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

The sign of the beast.

Why am I not surprised. :D:D:D:D:D

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

It suits him!

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

What it's advertised as and what it'll be capped at are different. VM will add 10% on in both directions.

Keeping that in mind you're 1/3rd right with 300/16 as far as advertising goes.

400/40 with BT FTTC G.Fast soon in 2017
