I personally do not like it compared with cable it seems to slow and outdated.

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

I attended a meeting last week in which they did said we have tested successfully 100mb.

No roll out date, but the system works.

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

During IBC, Pace and BigBand Networks will be demonstrating the results of their collaborative efforts consistent with DOCSIS 3.0 specifications, which will show downstream rates in excess of 100Mbps for the delivery of broadband and video data. The demonstration consists of the BigBand Cuda(r) CMTS (cable modem termination system) and a prototype Pace channel bonded DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem
"Furthermore, DOCSIS 3.0 also incorporates support for the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), which greatly expands the number of Internet addresses that cable operators can use. This, in conjunction with the far greater broadband speeds (up to 160Mbps downstream and up to 120Mbps upstream), will enable more IP-based services to be offered to consumers."

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

adsl2+ really should be classed as 16mbit l commend bulldog and sky for doing this, whilst it can reach 24mbit it is very rare and most people achieving above 16mbit usually do it by squeezing their snr margins to low levels.

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

You are mistaken.

I can quite happily get 20mb with a SNR of 6.5. And as it stands my SNR is 2.5 and my synce speed is 23.5mb

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

you are one of those people who think it happens to me so it must be common, do some research and you will find over 16mbit is rare. Bulldog and sky arent capped to 16mbit there is a very good reason they marketing it as 16mbit.

Also to add atm has a heavy overheads penalty, you would need a synch speed of 18mbit+ to even get 16mbit tcp speeds. So on a normal snr margin of 6.5db (6 considered the lowest for stable connection by every isp I know off) your tcp throughput would be around 18mbit.

Ah well not long now till Uma & Richard gives us 10Meg users our 20MB/50MB upgrade ;)

Imagine the amount of Linux Isos you can download with that Bill! lol :D

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

i dont think we are going to get any upgrade any time soon

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

But, 50Mb is coming soon.

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

well they say, they trialed 20 meg, and all tht kinda fell of the radar, so why shud 50 be any different jus because they said on bbc (i think it was)

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

Yep...NTL tend to talk out of their arses alot ;)

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

I don't know, the 20mb trial wasn't really publicised but speeds of 50mb was.

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

So Coming soon ;)

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

i hope so myself, just cant see it happening

Re: 20Mbps News?
 

As RB said, "You ain't seen nothing yet" ....... very true.
