Re: Check This Out
 

Hope it's more straightforward than your apparent difficulty in learning the difference between megabits and megabytes Keith, you've been getting them wrong in your releases for ages ;)

Last I checked fibre can carry a tad more than a gigabit too :)

RTFM Mr Monserrat, if you're going to talk techy talk propah like otherwise shush, you just opened yourself up to getting torn apart all over the place with the above ****e.

Re: Check This Out
 

Is an entire channel 63mhz for 100mbit?

If so, surely bonding the 6/8mhz channels with DOCSIS 3.0 will produce a far greater available bandwith as a whole?

Re: Check This Out
 

But would bonding those 2 channels require ntl to have to replace all equipment in one go?

From the look of it this will allow them to implement the 100mbit on top of the standard service then phase out the older service gradually reducing the immediate impact on resources.

Re: Check This Out
 

Anyone know how many customers are typically connected to each coaxial cable trunk? Surely this won't equate to 100Mb per subscriber, so they'll have to throttle each user to (say) 10Mb.

Why hasn't my connection been upgraded to 100Mb yet? It's not fair. NTL are really useless and slow, I'm gonna contact Watchdog/Ofcom/Court of Human Rights etc, etc. :)

Re: Check This Out
 

Please don't give them any ideas. :rolleyes:
Even with 100MB to each user I'll bet some people would still have something to complain about.

Re: Check This Out
 

Ye, I'd complain if there was something to complain about.

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

Any idea what cap they're gonna slap on this service level? :disturbd:

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

Maybe 1GB a day? A month?!

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

100Mb........Ha give us a break!

They can't even supply 10Mb! :D

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

Pay attention and actually read the posts ;) The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other ;)

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

My response is to the overall header "Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps"

Allthough 100Mb's wouldn't mind that!

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

if they can actually get it working satisfactorily even if its up to 100 & one can achieve anywhere near 95 its something to look forward to..

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

If this 100MB service is to be released to us customers at some point in the near future, surely ntl would need to free up bandwith first. Turning off the analogue tv signals would seem to be the indicator to watch out for that such a fast broadband service is about to be launched. So possibly by the end of the year, early next, we might just, just, have a 100MB service with multiple HDTV streams with oodles of space left for internet downloading to look forward to....waking up from dream:) But, as said, what about those caps? No point having a 100MB connection if you can only download a "meesly" 75 Gigs. A day's worth of HDTV shows would use the current allowance, so I've been told....;)

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

I agree that switching off analogue will free up bandwidth, but I'm not sure if you are being optimistic on the timescale. There are still areas of NTL that can only get analogue, for example - I guess that will have to be addressed, first?

So while I am excited at the potential for our future services, I am not expecting much to happen, any time soon. :)

Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps
 

Gosh, there are some bright people about. Some of you are barking up the right tree here.

Which ADSL ISPs? I'll give you blueyonder with a few months headstart.

Ig - I hope you aren't sticking your neck out, old son. Feel free to drop me a note letting me know the bits I don't.

General note - ntl try all sorts of things, generally they don't go ahead but sometimes they do. Best not to read anything into this other than the usual market incentive to go faster/cheaper/quicker than anyone else*. It'll happen, but I don't know when.

* Insert 'they can't even get 10Mb right' gripe here.
