There are 1000 bits in a kilobit so 750kbit = 750,000 bits.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrade Dates
 
750 and some areas will have it, some won't yet.

From Stockport (G Manchester) getting various results between 175 kbps and 290 kbps on a 150k STB connection (12 tests over a 10 min period). :confused:

BBKing is there a schedule? PLEASE?! :)

Are we talking hours? Days? Weeks?

BBKing 28-07-2004 11:46

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrade Dates
 
Yes there is a schedule, no I don't control it, so I can't really say anything. Factors outside my control, don't want to get hopes up.
