I want a 100Mb

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Go to Sweden/Japan instead then :p:

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

France is closer and with 100mbit symetrical :p:

Unless this is 100mbit symetrical or 100mbit/10mbit then i dont really see the point.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

stay with vm and u'll get 5Mbps lol

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

i did note in the link it states that (virgin media is upgrading it's whole network to 50meg by the end of the year) does that mean we will all get a free upgrade or does that mean virgin are going to spend some money at long last hmmmm either way i feel a laughing fit coming on rofl!!!!!:D:D

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

woah, i want 100Mbps internet, wonder how much it going to cost

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

due to it been in the in place it will be it shouldnt be that much as fibre is that expensive and very tuff

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Never ceases to amaze me this great country of ours..

We invented the damn telephone and have one of the slowest internet systems in the world.

To many greedy companies just interested in PROFIT PROFIT PROFIT. It will be their downfall one day soon. Another thing !!!! What would you do if you suddenly get 100 megs bandwidth ? lol. Unless you are a heavy downloader of progs etc, then it aint no use and then on the other hand, virgin will be monitoring you anyways.. Catch 66.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I'd find ways to waste it, trust me :p:
I'm thinking Tor relays galore with that sort of speed (As long as the upload is good).

100Mb/s should be low latency as well, ideal for gamers, which is the reason South Korea is so wired.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

It should be, but like all things networking, that's in no way a guarantee.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Very, very true.

At least if they are offering 100Mbps to everyone the backbone will be massive, hopefully. Should mean people get decent speeds, no matter what (Well, above 1/5th of the 100Mbps is decent for the UK).

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Bring it on i say and if they want people to trial it iam quit happy to volunteer.:D

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

But were we really the first to invent it ;)

Antonio Meucci

I would imagine they will charge a price to compete against VM's 50mb when it's finally available :)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

:) Bet my house won't get it :)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Check to see if there is a grid in the gutter outside your house. :D

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

that post says its £60 for 25Mbps ouch

hope im part of the 88,000 homes that getting it
and that aint the price when it does arrive

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

& dont you know it lol

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

:eek:

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Wish we could have 100meg Here. I would find ways to use that :D

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Well, if you think it's bad now, just wait until it really does get all... s****y!!!1!!!:LOL:

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

What i find comical is VM are upgrading to 50mb downstream....and exactly what are they goin to do with there upstream, most likely the same as what happened when they upgraded to 20mb....give us an extra 40kb/s LOL......The chances of gettin a true 100mb or even 50mb connection is ZILCH!! :(

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Just got in from work, there was a case at one of our sites today, the internet connection was slow... Tested, got 6,5MB/s throughput (Thats about 52Mbps).

Talk about greedy ;)
Uploads were peaking at 30Mbps.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I've just found out this is going to be symetrical aka 100mbit download and upload.

I'm moving to bournemouth :P

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Want free internet from the sewers? Get Google TiSP lol :D http://www.google.com/tisp/install.html

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Dang TraxData moving about aren't we btw pm me email again i have 3 .....

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Dundee to get the 100mb treatment too. Lucky them.

http://www.fibrecity.eu/latest-news.htm

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Please don't, it's nice and quiet here! :p: :D

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

....well, he could move to Dundee now as well. Although the weather ain't as nice up there.

I suspect that once a few cities have been fibred up using the sewers, then everyone will be doing it and things will "crank" up gear significantly.

I doubt (although don't know for sure), that H20 will deal will residential customers direct, as they seem to be concentrating on business customers. Once they've signed a business contract in a city this lays the foundation for them to fibre up that city for all.

I suspect H20 will lease their cables out to Sky/BT et all as I've not seen H20 make any deals with stb and modem manufacturers or do deals with broadcasters and film studios.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Anyone else noticed H2o have now updated things and there is 6-10 more places getting this? :D

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

...er, no. Where does it say that? On their site it only mentions Bournemouth and Dundee.

Please do tell if you know of more cities getting this.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Thanks for the link.

Completely unaware of that. The news item confirms my statement that h2o will lease their networks to other companies for consumer services.

Although other cities haven't been announced yet apart from one other, that article did say that more are on the way. Sheffield is being fibred up now and a company called Ask4 will lease h20 fibres and pump symmetrical broadband and IPTV down the wires. Very nice.

When I said things will crank up significantly, I didn't realise it would be this quick.

Now let the real competition in fast broadband and tv begin.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I'm currently with Ask4 In sheffield (25/25), luckily as far as i'm aware they are working with H2o to put fiber throughout other parts of the city instead of small areas, this could prove interesting.

Your welcome, btw :)

Official announcement from H2o as per what other area's will be getting FTTH is in a month, i believe.

Quite a few big cities, from what i know ;)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

London???? please, pretty please:)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

you'll have to wait and see :p::angel:

Takes 12-24months to do a fully city rollout anyway so you have to hope your in an area where the rollout starts ;)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

25/25 makes me feel very envious.:)

I'm patient to wait - not that I have a choice in the matter, unless I move.:)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I can usually reach 50/50 quite easily as they give you any free bandwith on the site :)

Much better than anything VM could provide.

No STM, No Application Throttling etc either ;)

Yes, move down south to get it now ;)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I am really feeling very depressed and jealous, where's that tub of Hagan daaz ice cream.:)

It basically makes Vm's future 50mb offering look pitiful.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Pass us some ice cream and i might let you come down to have a play with my fast connection :-p

VM's offering is pitterful!!!

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

This is from ask4 terms and conditions

.1.12 allow Ask4 to carry out port scanning traffic shaping traffic monitoring and such other measures as ask4 may determine from time to time to ensure optimum performance of the Service for all or a majority of users.

You seem not to know your own terms and conditions with
ask4 ?????????????????????

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I know the terms and conditions and i know to which that relates to, its not shaping, trust me :)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

It says "traffic shaping".. What else could it relate to. The more people take up the service this will soon kick in or else why put it in the T&C'S

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Technically not, contact ask4 and ask them, they'll explain :)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Oh come on.
So ask4 give all there customers 25/25 all the time ??

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Yes, and more (50/50 if the bandwith is there)

You need to realise its FTTH (well FTM) with a direct-linkup to ISP, shaping isnt needed.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Then why they advertise this speed at one of their addresses

Package Name Price per month
Download Speed Upload Speed
4 Meg £15.00 4 Mbit/s 1 Mbit/s

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Not all of their addresses are fibre yet, though all are getting the H2o treatment soon as far as im aware :)

If you look on sites like west one where its fibre the packages are 4/4 10/10 and 25/25

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

my point is still valid. Up to 25 meg is what they say..
OH but dependant on where you live ?????.
If you can achieve the speeds advertised and are prepared to pay the monthly charge £50.00 then more power to you. However do not lead prople to believe they are the best ISP when clearly they are not.
Having read the t&c I would certainly be wary of entering into a contract with them,,,,,

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

-rolls eyes-

Are you a troll?

Go read up on the reviews they get 10/10, they ARE the best ISP in the UK providing you can get them.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

they only have a smalll customer base so they will say they are the best, they are localised so tbh it cant really compare to a larger isp covering the majority of the country

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

That particular site is too small to justify the cost of fibre, for the forseeable future it will be staying as is. The rest of the sites have high bandwidth links.

Currently no residential sites are on H20 fibre.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I meant link up, as per H2o comments you use some of their fibre for site to site linkups but that's it i believe?

I dont know what site it was to be honest, havent checked :D

Also, there was a few problems in west one last night (dead dns), did you pick up on it ?

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

No idea I'm afraid, been on holiday and not back at work until tomorrow :) Have you raised it with Support?

We currently use H2O for some short fibre runs between buildings at a couple of sites, but yes we are looking to roll out a fibre ring in Sheffield this summer.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Decided not to, it was only down for a few hours and only affected US sites so i figured it was maybe a problem with level3 rather than you/ask4 directly.

You have many people excited about that :)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

We'll still be operating the same way (multi-tenant units) but it will give us more resilience and make it easier for us to add new sites in the future. The developers will still need to be on board like now so you're not going to be able to get ask4 in your 3 bedroom semi anytime soon :)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I know that :) alot of new builds/re-builds being done in the future though i believe so hopefully developers will hop on board!

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Trax who is the trol ??????????????????

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

just realised i got this email from yesterday

Hi (my name)

A while ago you signed up to Bournemouth Fibrecity updates and asked us to inform you of any developments. I am pleased to let you know that we are now at the stage where we need the permission, of the home owner, to connect where you live. In the next week you will also get a letter through the post which will contain further information on the Fibrecity network.

The installation work will be completed free of charge and all the home owner needs to do is opt in by:

Filling in the online form by clicking here
Filling in the tear off slip on the letter you receive and returning it in the free post envelope
Visiting the Fibrecity helpdesk at Bournemouth Library, The Triangle from the beginning of August.
The way we install the connection does not take long and opting in does not obligate you or the home owner to use the services that will be available via this connection. However, being connected will give the ability to ‘switch on’ should you or future residents want to benefit from having this ultra high speed connectivity.



This offer of free connection to Fibrecity has to be limited to 28 days. Opting in now avoids having to pay to be connected if you change your mind in the future.

If you need any further information, please call 0800 95 4 20 20.

Warm regards



Elfed Thomas
CEO – Fibrecity

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

yep if you want more info the ad is in the free advertiser paper in bournemouth but is a3 to big to scan.
www.fibrecity.eu is the site for more info they say in the advert.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

any1 got any idea what the work will be??
is it like virgin laying a cable and putting a small box next to our house?

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Like cable its going to be a trench to lay the feed to your house then a box on the wall. like cable you don't even have to sign up. you are allowing them to make the Home fibre ready. All installed for free if you reply with in the 28 day window online or via the letter thats being mailed out soon.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Installation won't be untill september as the earliest.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

What I don't understand is, how can speeds of 100mbps(or even 50mbps) be achieved unless you are only downloading around Bournemouth?.
From what I've read on the forum BT's lines won't support such speeds even if you camp in the exchange and as cable only covers a small percentage of the country compared to BT it seems that most internet traffic is running over copper wires.
I can't see how such high speed can be attained, perhaps someone can explain or do I need a new pair of glasses.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

This company is laying high speed cable in sewers.

Have a look at their website.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

They finaly have started work but as usual never my post code first.

heres the latest ad http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...teGB/fibre.jpg was big advert, finaly some signs of life...down the sewers that is not just rats.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

So is this gonna be like Zerizon Fios but in england.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

i would just like to get the 20 meg i pay, no more no less, my ubr is over subscribed and doing a speed check last night at 1 in the morning showed a thoroughly ultra wrapid, eye ball shaking download of just over 2 meg, yet upload was still decent at 710 ish, whoopie frickin doo.

the phrase "running before one can climb out of the pram" springs to mind

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi Guys

My name is Paul and I am currently working for Fibrecity. I am currently the data controller for Fibrecity Bournemouth.

Things are going well so far and we are aiming to get 20% of Bournemouth signed up by Christmas. Some initial work has started in the BH10 and BH11 postcodes in Bournemouth and we will shortly be announcing the first service provider to use our connection. The provider is in place but as everything is still not finalised we are not at liberty to announce this at this time.

From the calls and emails we have recieved we can see that a number of people have questions regarding the work we are doing so I thought I would post here and see if I can get some answers to any questions or concerns you may have (especially those of you in Bournemouth who have not yet signed up!!).

I previously worked for Virgin Media BBI tech support based in the Albert Dock for 2 years and during that time have leeched on Cable Forum to see what was happening and have often found out many useful things while browsing the forums. Indeed that was how I cam across this thread.

So if you guys have any questions please feel free to post them and I will do my best to get the answers for you.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

:luv:BH11:luv:

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Please suggest BH14, I know its a fair way away but pleeease :p:

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

OK paul, ill bite (but not much)
Question 1.
just out of interest What Post codes will the network be actually in ? as theres no real clue how far or wide it will be, in what ive seen so far.
Question 2.
Why is it I found out more details from a free paper I personally trash as soon as it hits the floor than the fibrecity.eu web site. kinda sad you need a paper medium to give updates thats all.
Question 3
Can we look forward to ITV south carrying ads to run right after Virgin media ads on Cable. ( wont affect SKY viewers as we can manually add any ITV channel. Currently still have ITV SW still set up on 103. Never got it reset after moving)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi RealDiamond,

1. The Bournemouth project is from postcodes BH1 through to BH11 with a small number of BH12 properties (around 10 or so).

2. This is someting that I have been harping on about to and I do know that there are going to be live updates launced very soon for people who have registered for updates via the website. There is also going to be a lot more information added to the website soon including maps of the areas we will be installing and and up to date information on when we will be in certain areas.

The newspaper and magazine articles are aimned at the older population in my opinion but I agree that alot more needs to be done with the site and if you have any recommendations I will be happy to pass this on.

3. Not sure about this one. I will see what I can find out.

In response to your suggestion Graham, you're not the first to suggest this I can tell you lol. I will keep you updated if I hear anything about work in the BH14 area.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Haha ok thanks, I think the BH13-ers IE Canford Cliffs, Branksome Park, Sandbanks might be a bit miffed :)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Haha I think so to Graham.

Hopefully we will be able to get to them soon to so noone feels left out!

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi Paul,

Some BH11/BH12 codes are run by Poole Borough Council, will these properties be excluded?

I have a Bournemouth postal address (BH11) but come under Poole Borough Council, so I'm guessing it's a no?

Thanks, Mike.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

btw do we get confirmation after returning the opt in letter??
dont wanna be left out when they start working on my street
and have to pay for installation when services are available

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

OK Paul thanks

For the site
Put some promo videos up. Please avoid Flash and Java use for video .
Video in WMV and MP4 via direct click-able links please. They are adverts they pay for them selves if done right.

Live updates, well any update is a start. Even if its just simple text like the news section here.

A map of which areas are being done or been done is what I was after on the site.

PS3 users have a web browser, please test the site for compatibility please , as currently its a bit messed up.

Im sure ill have more later.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi guys thanks for the replies.

@Smilie - I believe that this is something that is being wokred on at the moment, either sending out letters or emails or a combination of both. If you do not hear anything and would like to make sure you have been registered please email bournemouth@fibrecity.eu or send me a PM and we can check.

@RealDiamond - Great suggestions, thanks for that.

We do have a few videos which show the machines that will be used for the micro trenchs and I am sure a promo video was done at sometime so i'll get right on that. The updates are badly needed as you mentioned and I will pass this on as a priority.

I believe the guys who are responsible for the site (3rd party company) are going to be wokring on adding some maps to the site which will show the areas that we will be installing in and will hopefully allow you to track the progress of Fibrecity and also show the target install dates of each postcode/area.

Ill pass that compatibility issues on as this could cause problems.

Keep em' coming mate, thanks again.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi Paul

Are H2O looking to lay fibre throughout cities within the UK (I recommend Derby), Do you have a price per month for the current 100mbps service?

Thanks in advance

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi Paul

few more questions if u dont mind answering

When abouts should we see services available

what initial service will be available with the service provider you have in place,
just internet?? (even though im not really interested in the other services)
i expect there be some kind of TV video service in the future correct??

any idea if the service provider have a competitive price compared to virgins??

and also the important question
u know when will service be available in BH9 area? :P

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi Guys,

@sloman - We are looking to rollout across the UK and so I am sure Derby will be considered. I will certainly pass your suggestion on. No prices as of yet but hopefully the service provider announcement is not too far away and all should become clearer.

@Smilie - For the BH10 and BH11 postcodes we should hopefully be looking at around 6 months for services to be available. we are currently working on trying to produce some accurate times and dates for each area. We will then hopefully be uploading this onto the website.

The initial services should include BBI, TV and Telephone line as far as I am aware. I would expect a TV video service, possibly similar to On Demand to be available at some point as well. If this will be available from the word go we are not sure at the moment.

We do not have any pricing details yet. Once we get confirmation of the providr and everything is setup hopefully we will get a lot more details on the services available and the packages/prices. if I get anything I am allowed to release I will make sure I post as soon as!

For BH9 between 6 and 12months based on estimates but as I said we will hopefully have accurate information soon which we can add to the website.

I am going to visit the Web Design team in the morning so if anyone has anything they would like to see on the site please post or PM me tonight and I will take this with me in the morning.

We are working on making the site look better, adding more content and updating the site a lot more with ongoing news and the like.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Brill thanks

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

It will be interesting to see who the service provider(s) is/are.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi fnkysknky,

We will hopefully be announcin this very very soon.

It will definitley be interesting and is a question that a lot of people are asking before signing up.

Just a quick mention about the meeting yesterday with the web team, all went well and I passed on the suggestions received. The work that they have planned should make the site a lot better to use and will provide a lot more up to date information.

Paul

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

AWWWW Jeeeeez I really dont want a job fixing their sewer cables tho.
Oh imagine that?
getting home from your work
wife : did you have a good day today luv?
tech: nah it was ****

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Ummm......
The slow internet is as a RESULT of inventing the phone, dude. .. ..
As one of the first countries to implement a phone service, we used what was best THEN, which was copper wires .. . Other countries made their phone networks later, using the info gained by us doing it, so they were made better, leaving us with the 'old' copper wire.. .. . .
Old boss of mine used to say 'you can have it FAST, or you can have it GOOD, but not both' .. . .:)

Might as well blame Thomas B. Doolittle (1839-1921), for inventing the copper wire in the first place :P

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

FibreCity, how many cities/areas does your company intend to fibre up after Bournemouth, something like a dozen perhaps?? When will this be announced?

Plus, where is your company getting its funding from? Does it have access to new funds considering the credit crunch?

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi Horizon,

We are aiming to do as many Fibrecities as possible, I think there were hopes that we could start between 2 and 4 a year once everything starts to kick off. I will tey and get confirmation on this for you.

Our funding is kept private from us so I would not be able to divulge this information, however I do know that funding is not a problem and from what I can gather the company has the backing and funding to help it grow as much as it is able to.

The fact is that noone in the UK is investing as much in infrastructure in the UK as Fibrecity and we intend to continue to rollout Fibrecity to as much of the UK as possible as long as helping to implement our technology across the world via our International department.

There should hopefully be a lot more to come and Fibrecity should continue to grow and become a household name.

Keep the questions coming guys.

Paul

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Thanks for reply FibreCity, looks like there's lots of competitors to your company appearing now. So, exciting times for UK cable.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi Horizon,

It certainly is, and about time to!

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Hi Paul,

I hope when it all goes live we are not just restricted to a Virgin deal as it seem a shame to have all that speed only to be capped by Virgin under their "fair usage policy" I hope sometime they and others follow Sky's example of offering true unlimited broadband. Cant' wait, I'm in the BH5 postcode so looking forward to when this hits my area maybe a bit of a wait though?

Thanks,
Steve.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

sky does have usage policy, below is cut from there website:

If you subscribe to a Product that has a cap on the amount of data that you download or upload via your Sky Broadband internet access each month ("Usage Cap"), your usage must not exceed that Usage Cap each month. For the current Usage Caps on each Product, please go to www.sky.com/broadband.

If you exceed your Usage Cap, we will contact you to let you know that you have done so.

If, in subsequent months, your usage continues to exceed your Usage Cap, we will continue to contact you to ask you to reduce your usage immediately. If after a reasonable period of time your usage still exceeds your Usage Cap, then we may do one or more of the following things by notice in writing (including by email):

(a) charge you fair and reasonable costs for your usage (and any reasonable administration costs) in excess of your Usage Cap;

(b) change your subscription to a Product with a higher Usage Cap, in which case we would also notify you of the new price you will be charged;

(c) suspend your use of Sky Broadband for the relevant month; or

(d) end your Contract in accordance with Condition 11 of your Contract


So sky don't have cap's and is totally unlimited then :rolleyes:

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Unless you get Sky Max BB, then NO FUP.

http://www.sky.com/portal/site/skyco...andoptions/max

Truly unlimited

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

yeah except for the bt line if it's more than a metre long you won't get anything near what you pay for ;)

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

I've got a neighbour on O2 broadband and it's nearly a constant 13Mpbs and at £21.50/month (£10/m O2 (ok he's an O2 mobile customer) and £11.50/m line rental BT) I think it's good value for money, as there's no traffic management policy, when you compare it to the £25/m `L' STM package from VM

Cable distance is around 2km, according to BT line tests

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Noggo is correct:-

Not on the Sky Max package:-

"TRULY UNLIMITED BROADBAND

Truly unlimited broadband

Sky Broadband Max now offers a truly unlimited broadband service with no fair usage policy restrictions and no broadband speed caps. If you sign up for our Sky Broadband Max service it means you will be free to download as much as you want, whenever you want.

We also promise to customers taking our Base, Mid or Max products that we won't slow down connection speeds at peak times. So whether you want to download a movie at 7am or a music track at 7pm, you'll still be able to enjoy the same consistent speed"

I agree with the BT line the speeds can be hammered so bring on the Fibre Optics!!

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth
 

Let's face it, this company (H2O) is becoming more and more like a vapourware company, no news, nothing, nada.
