ADSL2+ is being trialled by NTL.

Nice, probably for Streaming Video over IP :):):)

I think the article alluded to that.

I like the sound of HDTV on demand :)

Re: 18mbps

Sent this to adslguide, but needless to say the nobbers will ignore it as they have some odd reason to slate ntl at every opportunity.

The adsl2+ ntl news would go very nice above the stuff below they posted.

"The comments from a ntl spokesmans were interesting in the item: "BT's network is limited compared to that of cable. With all the other services coming on stream such as video on demand, the question is will 8MB be enough?". One hopes that ntl have noticed that the BT Group is planning to trial ADSL2+ during 2005, with plans to run it at up to 18Mbps."

Re: 18mbps
 

but why would ADSL matter to NTL as their network uses Cable Modems and all that stuff? are they suggesting they will convert their broadband delivery method to ADSL?

Re: 18mbps
 

It seems as though they will be deploying ADSL2+ over their cable network which is stupid as they couldve deployed DOCSIS 2.0 much more easily.

Re: 18mbps
 

Will it have a 1gb per day cap?? :P

Someone had to say it!

Re: 18mbps
 

Mmmmmmmmm 18mbps.... yum

I'll give 'em £40 a month for that, even with a 50gig/month cap :angel:

Re: 18mbps
 

It sounds like there could be a switch to DSL by NTL.

The point that has been missed in this thread though is the mention of VDSL2 which can give speeds of 100Mbps.

The other point is that a switch to DSL means different constraints on the system so the thinking behind caps will change.

Re: 18mbps
 

Maybe its just speculation on capability?

After all, after 'the amount' they spent on the cable network why would they dump it? Would it really be more cost-effective to deploy bb over adsl2+, if not in the long run?

Edit: After reading the 'ntl's network advantage' part it could seem so,

Historically....Going forward...hmmm :scratch:

Re: 18mbps
 

Maybe they thought it would cost more to go with DOCSIS 2.0 than using ADSL2+/VDSL2. Moving to DSL gives them better scope for future than DOCSIS unless they think about the unstandardised DOCSIS 3.0.

Re: 18mbps
 

OK let's have that show of hands again.
Who is going to leave NTL and go to an ADSL ISP.
