Well the link that you provided doesn't really give out the full details. It just said that there is going to be an announcement tomorrow, so anything else, like the caps, is just supposition.

Peterborough never seems to get a mention on that service status page. Do we still have plenty of bandwidth to go round?

Just about sums it up :)

September will be here before we know it, August 7th and counting ;)

As the "Bloke in the Pub" said, way back, the upgrade is intended to please everyone, LOL, a tall order.

"Bloke in the Pub" has just phoned, appears that this is just a stop gap, designed to increase revenue so that work can begin on updating the system to 100Mb/s Ethernet, as is already being rolled out in some areas of the US on trial. Of course, all this isn't being done for the primary benefit of the BB user, the aim is to have a massive VOD selection which ADSL cannot hope to come close to, TV is where the big money is going to come from in the future.

What is the minimum upload speed needed to sustain a 10Mbit line??

Are they likely to give us anymore than they need to?

I understand you guys may not be able to say to much but perhaps just a small vague hint?? :angel: :D

I bet you were the kind of child who climbed Mum and Dads wardrobe to find Christmas presents in November cos you just couldn't wait ;)

Re: Another speed increase?
 

Haven't a Scooby Doo, BT are doing 512k on resi 8Mbit and 768k on business version.

Re: Another speed increase?
 

not sure what you mean by that? are you hinting that upload speed of 300 is also being increased? or are you just a big tease!

Re: Another speed increase?
 

Woo, thats some list. What I meant though, could this mean that ntl would be the biggest ISP in big speeds in the wooooorld (minus asia ;)).

I can just imagine conversations in months time 'What you got, Cable or ADSL?', 'ADSL mate', 'Awww, unlucky' :D

Re: Another speed increase?
 

it looks like NTL are really turning the corner now - speed increases again and again.... constantly blowing ADSL/BT out of the water and also the £9.99 1mb offer - brilliant stuff. I have to take my hat off to them.

Re: Another speed increase?
 

Eeee, I remember the days when 512k was considered ntl's "top-tier" broadband :D

Re: Another speed increase?
 

and I remember having a ZX81. bring back the good old days!

Re: Another speed increase?
 

It all depends on what the connection is being used for.

The main questions being what type of user is the 10mbps aimed at and what applications is it being provided for? I doubt that it is aimed at the p2p market trader. My bet is that it is aimed at video streaming applications.

Re: Another speed increase?
 

Don't forget the Download movie rentals which are hopefully going to hit it off bigtime!!

I also heard somebody saying something about a P2P from BBC?? No idea what this is?

The point is though if you are downloading at 10Mbit you are gonna need alot more upstream to be able to communicate with wherever you are getting the data from? Am I right in thinking this?

Oh and one last thing.....

What is 10Mbit in KB/s?? 1,100KB/s??
