Not seen any other thread's about this yet - sorry if it's already being talked about.

Im shocked, i was expecting 20mb... not 50!!!

Re: 50MB Early next year
 

As i said in another thread. Looks like my source was right 2 months ago, 18mb, 30 and 50mb will be the new packages.

Cant wait. Cant get that link to load tho.

Fenlock, you can change the personal title then now ;)

I was amazed when the question about 100mbit was asked, and he said thats not too far into the future (i'm guessing not planned, just telling us it's probably possible) and then proceeded to announce 50mb :|

Amazing. Now, anyone for a 50Gb a month cap on it :p: (Just kidding)

Re: 50MB Early next year

Mentioned on page 4 of the rebrand press release: here

"In November, we will be
launching a commercial trial of a 50Mb broadband service to paying customers."

Re: 50MB Early next year
 

Sorry. Just went all giddy and click happy when i watched the bbc video, wasnt anything in the 20mb thread the last time i checked. see ive missed a few posts.

Re: 50MB Early next year
 

More like 2mb absolute max i reckon, but who knows. Numbers are still flying around. I'll not be surprised if caps are brought back in on this product.

Re: 50MB Early next year
 

But will you actually consistently receive 50MB, or anywhere near it. And what will you do with the bandwidth, other than download even more po... movies? It's the Dyson no loss of suction all over again.

Re: 50MB Early next year
 

HD Streaming? And you can legally download pc games you purchase and the case of the worlds need for speed.

Re: 50MB Early next year
 

Good point i think i'd be set with 10mb/2mb, i tend to need upload more than download these days, but it's always nice to have a lovely downstream to boast about...

However, with 3 PC's on my network right now, divide 10mb by 3, and we get 3.33mbps, that should be more than plenty for anyone ;)

Re: 50MB Early next year
 

Why cant they go the way other eu countries do 10/10 20/20 and so on. They might be an extra £10 but its worth it.

Re: 50MB Early next year
 

Because the network can't take it?

I want to know why they can't let us all (on the same ISP) be able to have higher speeds to other people on the network? They'd hardly have to pay for any bandwidth, but it could be really beneficial.

go over here and read a few (many) pages back at least from todays date, lots of info and links there.
