Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Telewest are to launch 50Mb and 100Mb Boradband services in 2006. It will use the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) standard which works over hybrid fibre co-axial cable. BT users in the mean time will have to wait till at least 2050 for that sort of speed!

The date on that article you cite looks a bit suspicious:

Can I blame it on the half-empty glass of red wine in front of me?

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Think positive, it's half full.... ;)

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Actually I've just topped it up - tough week.

Which reminds me - I must have another go at your stress test to see if my eyes are wiggling too much...

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Hm yea I just noticed the date too, it was posted on another forum as well... Just wondering if their date is set wrong...

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Either way, it was posted in 2005 proclaiming 'super speed increases in 2006' last I looked it was 2006, where's the speed increases ;)

Pie in the sky

Theres the rumour thread.I think there will be 50 meg offered once docsis 3 is totally in place though just a matter of when not if

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

hello all do u no if u can still use the same modems after the upgrade ???

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

an upgrade to 50meg wouldnt work with your current modem.

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

cool nice too no
do u no if the upstream is going up ??

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

upstream would have to increase I recon.

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Nope, their date isn't set wrong. The article mentions the rollout of 10 meg which it says "started Yesterday". The 10 Meg rollout did start around september 2005.

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

This is very old new cause i remember posting it on another forums last year,and if it was true then 50 to 100Mbps upgrade would be carried out this year.So it was just more hot air,oh well atleast they are moving in the right direction with the 20mb upgrade (I am one of the lucky few testing).

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but our current cable modems can only support 38Mbps down and 10Mbps up (DOCSIS 1.0) right?

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Something like that :)

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

Once their was a Blueyonder technician in our house replacing our modem because the one we had was old and broke :) The first modem we got from Blueyonder when Blueyonder were just around, one of those grey old huge modems and they replaced it with the new black one. He was saying around January 2007 we should be seeing 50MB connections, I don't know if its true but he was on a level and knew what he was talking about. :)

Re: Telewest Targets 50 to 100Mbps!
 

The technicians are generally the ones who actually know anything about broadband, so I'd take his word over one of the first line support people ;)
