Re: Comcast wideband
 

It's nothing special, comcast users wont be seeing that speed.

You can already get that speed over here anyway, just costs a fair bit of money.

Re: Comcast wideband
 

Given Concast's (sic) traffic management (i.e. shaping) policies, you'll never see that speed, given that they sabotage your connection with reset packets. Even when you do, they'll arbitarily disconnect you due to overusage.

Re: Comcast wideband
 

Hmm yes they used to but not no more course they will see that speed in a few years look at korea and swden everyone has 100 mbits lol and u know what funny lol chatting to a sweden guy ingame and i asked do you get 100mbits all the time he says no it averages about 95 mbits lol and heres us less than 1 mb in some areas and he was complaining .

Re: Comcast wideband
 

:erm: some do - not all.

Sweden
Average advertised speed of 21Mbps but according to speedtest.net, people are actually achieving an average of 7.4Mbps. In Sweden there is a VDSL network live. Fibre has been available for quite a long time with a significant number of people served by it. Speeds vary depending on which network, but can go up to 100Mbps, However there is a big polarisation between those that get it and those still relying on DSL products.

South Korea
South Korea's figure is 43Mbps. In South Korea there has also been a very strong fibre rollout, which has been enabled, at least in part, by state contributions. Often regarded as something of a gold standard when it comes to super-fast broadband, an amazing 90% of homes have a broadband connection of between 50 and 100Mbps. They also pay the lowest rates in the world. There are pilot services offering connections starting at 1,000Mbps. The big driver for fast broadband here is gaming and 43% of the population has a personal profile in the virtual world Cyworld, which recorded £5m worth of trade per month last year. Those dawdling on slow UK connections can take heart from results from speedtest.net which show that some citizens are only achieving speeds of 3.6Mbps. This is because the extremely fast networks are concentrated in the towns and cities.

Actually, they still are... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04...comcast_again/

Re: Comcast wideband
 

And if you get the speed, this might happen link
"Comcast is considering monthly download caps for all those people on its cable-based internet service.
According to a report from Broadband Reports, America's second largest ISP is mulling a plan that would cap user downloads at 250GB a month. Under the plan, users would not be penalized if they crossed that 250GB threshold once during a 12-month period, but if they did it again, they'd be charged $15 for every 10GB beyond the magic number."

Re: Comcast wideband
 

Its worse than that. Concast have a habit of arbitrarily disconnect heavy users, without defining any limit. So downloading 1mb too much and thy'll cancel your service without notice, and ban you for a year. Given residences in the US tend to be more spread out than the UK, it makes ADSL even more unlikely.

Re: Comcast wideband

Re: Comcast wideband
 

Lol....

They only sell their BB to new developments as far as im aware.

It's upto the developers though.

They use the H2o network.

I think your basically connected direct to the ISP.

Wanna move into an apartment now? :p:

You can get some at jet centro for £450/month, not bad really.

Re: Comcast wideband

Re: Comcast wideband

Re: Comcast wideband
 

I had no problem getting my rent paid (£525) when i signed on....that was a few years ago though.

Re: Comcast wideband
 

not too bad then considering that you dont have to pay line rental :D

Re: Comcast wideband
 

We don't use H2o's network, we have our own but we have used them for a couple of fibre runs so far.

Re: Comcast wideband
 

Unless, of course, you are at Velocity in Leeds, where 2Mb/512kb will cost you £25 per month

Re: Comcast wideband
 

That's due to be upgraded in line with the rest of our sites on Wednesday (all being well) :)

Re: Comcast wideband
 

When are you getting these speeds out to Adel, then?

(pretty please)

Re: Comcast wideband
 

We only supply our residential service to multi-tenant units (MTU). Our business model wouldn't work with supplying individual houses. Unfortunately unless you happen to live in or be moving to a development that has the ask4 service installed then you will be unable to get the service.

Re: Comcast wideband
 

Kinda defeats the objective of Asking4 it then ... i know i know, bad joke ^^
