The exchange search feature at www.samknows.com is an excellent resource for finding out where your exchange is. Doesn't tell you the line length but has some interesting information on the exchange.

Looks like Pipex will be joining the 8Mb party too....

No lockins = pay us the activation fee if you leave within 12 months.

At first that looks like a good deal, but then I looked a bit further..

For a start, the £14.99 is actually 250K. If you are willing to spend £5 a month more, you do get four times the speed, but with a 2 Gig cap. Still at least you do have the choice of capped or uncapped.

Still, Assuming NTL's cap in not going to be a problem, 2Meg uncapped (as offered by Solo2000) looks rather expensive. 2 Meg for slightly less than what NTL are offering 3 Meg for?

Hopefully 8 meg will be the same price as 2 though with Pipex probably offering it "unlimited" they'll slap a premium on it instead, I'd be quite happy with a reasonable cap if they lowered their prices in line with say .. plus.net

Uncapped 2mb for cheaper than what NTL currently offer a Capped 1.5 seems like a good deal to me.

They are non existant if BT is your ISP as all their places are reserved for BT staff. Then in around six months time, if the trials are successful they will start rolling out 8Mb. I suppose when they do start rolling it out there will be chaos on the ADSL forums from all the users who didn't get it at 00:01am on the first day. :)

Re: [Merged] 8Mb ADSL
 
It now looks like NDO are about to venture into the faster speeds but what really interested me was his quote further down the thread on their forums in reply to a request on upload speeds.

Quote:
Quoted by Sam on NDO forums.
The current prposal is that ultimately yes with the changes in how ADSL is deployed by Bt in the UK upstreams should enventually increase upto a maximum of 768k; but it will depend on a lot of factors including line quailty and ADSL will be geared to favour the downstream over more upstream...

But this isnt something that will happen that quickly, talking about more some time in the next 12 to 24 months in reality.
More can be read here on the NDO users forums

Upstreams will be 400k on the standard products (ATM synch rate approx 450kbps) and there will be a full upstream option for businesses and those who wish to fork out a bit extra.

Line quality won't really be that much of an issue - if you can hit 4Mbit on the downstream generally you'll be able to manage 768k up.

LMFAO @ this though: Access to the most reliable and fastest Network in the world

Someone should mention to Pipex that they shouldn't be passing off UUNet / MCI's network as their own anymore ;) the Pipex authentication server was brought to its' knees by failure of a single network component a few months ago (thankfully just after I left). Their speed demonstration is nonsense as well, my 2Mbit certainly doesn't do 409kB/s.

But, that's IF your line can take 2Mb speed reliably, and IF NTL haven't upgraded your area yet.

Looks like things are hotting up in the LLU stakes. 8Mbit now down to £29.99 a month from UKOnline: http://www.adslguide.org/newsarchive.asp?item=2190

Thats the same as I pay Bulldog for 2Mbit!!!!!!!!!

Re: [Merged] 8Mb ADSL
 
With the new price when it comes i can have 8 meg bb 2 phone lines (keep ntl and pay bt monthly) for the massive sum of £2 more than im paying ntl,does not take a genius to work out what ill be doing :)

Looks like Ukonline are now doing 512k for £9.99 and 2mbit for £19.99, and did I mention they're uncapped? :p

Whoever said the future was metered broadband? :D

Only downside is that it's currently only on LLU exchanges, but one hell of a step in the right direction.
