It's like he's getting all that extra bandwidth he wanted all these years but in one go.

They started them off on the DOCSIS network using fibre all the way with no coax.

They are also testing GPON. He's now on GPON :)

You will not see 500Mb up on the cable network for a long time.
Correct. FTTH House trial.

Working very well. VM have been doing a great job around here really pleased with everything so far.

Even then, that's considerably faster upload than even BT's GPON FTTP.

Possibly the best upload/download ratio I've ever seen on VM.

Makes a change...

Yep. That access network is the most symmetrical one VM have had outside of point to point fibre.

BT's GPON has an intentionally low upload to reduce usage of it as a leased line replacement. 500Mb is appropriate on a 1Gb downstream product using GPON.

I wonder if that's why VM seems to care so little about keeping their "business broadband" service up to date.

In the Liberty Global results they quote a focus on small and home office services.

I agree with you they seem to always lag with their business broadband services, but hopefully the fact they mention it in their results might indicate some more attention.

The office building I'm in is right smack bang in the middle of a Virgin serviced area, yet they don't offer services to this building. We can either have crapy ADSL (no FTTC) or pay for a leased line. Suffice it to say, if Virgin did offer services here, we'd have been all over it and I suspect most other offices in this building would have been as well.

Edinburgh city centre is fairly similar, the most central exchange, which serves almost purely rich city centre businesses has no FTTC (or if it does, it was the last to be upgraded).

Beyond that it's still a way away no.

"A way away" in cosmological terms or in technological terms? :angel:

Apologies off topic but certainly a competitor and worth a mention , I've just read the following

Quote:
TalkTalk has confirmed it will begin connecting homes and businesses this autumn to its trial ultra-fast broadband network in York, saying the group is in talks for a national roll-out to 10m households.
Surely they don't have the resources to roll this out across the country ?

Not across the country, but I'm sure they could pass 10m households over a significant period.

Given that they think 1000 divided by 23 is "more than 100" it would seem they have some numeracy issues and I'd take any figures they quote with a pinch of salt.

Talk Talk actually said the following

Quote:
We have made good progress on the groundworks for our York Fibre to the Premise (“FTTP”) trial, with 1,200 homes passed in the first dig area, and are on track to launch our proposition soon and begin connecting customers in the autumn. Early indications of build costs are proving to be in line with our target of under £500 per home passed.

Based on our experience to date, we remain confident about the potential to roll out FTTP in scale. At a build cost of under £500 per premise passed and 30%-40% take-up, we believe it will be possible to build a c10million household network across the UK. We see ultrafast as an opportunity to build a mass market, value for money proposition that delivers value for consumers and shareholders through keen pricing and rapid scaling.

Our preliminary discussions on financing such a scale roll out have been positive, underscoring our confidence in the opportunity for building an economically viable, alternative and superior fibre infrastructure to that available today.
