*All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

I just heard that Bulldog will be launching ADSL Max (most BT exchanges were upgraded on 31st March), so for anyone out there on 1 or 2Mb ADSL, you should soon be able to get something a bit faster. :tu:

(depending on the loss on your line)

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

Hence why I said *should*.

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

Nildram have also started a Max product, subject to your exchange supporting it, as Neil says :tu:

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

For those of you who are on BT's own BB service: http://www.faster.bt.com/

It gives you info about the upcoming 8Mb upgrades. :tu:

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

I got my upgrade through Zen the other day - its gradually increasing the speed on my line, at the start it didnt budge above 2mb but im just over double that now.

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

Looks like there might be some teething troubles with the upgrades

EDIT:

And BT have come up with a nice scam. Get an upgrade but by accepting it you will be locked into a new 12 month contract

Bet Ntl are kicking themselves for not thinking of that one.

There's also a good checker on the BT Wholesale side that will give you a good indication of what your line can potentially support: http://www.bt.com/broadband/ :tu:

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

Cool looks like I can get 6.5mb :)

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

Neil, look double standarding customers like ntl :td: - 'It is our intention to offer up to 8Mb broadband to all new customers by June 2006. Our ability to offer up to 8Mb Broadband to all our existing customers will depend on the level of demand and capacity in the broadband network.'

Neil, look aswell, its a demand thing aswell, thats really bad eh? At least ntl actually give the speeds to everyone :td:

Looks really shabby to me, not to mention the fact that 8mb isn't 10mb like ntl :td:

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

oh loos like my parents can get 8mb

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

I have no idea what point you are trying to make....:erm:

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

Yeah, of course you don't Neil because its not ntl.

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

Not at all, I'll debate ntl/ADSL/whatever all day long-just so long as I know what point you are trying to make...

I'll have a go anyway:

What on earth does that mean? :confused:

Ok, you've taken that from the website link I gave earlier.

What on earth are you on about??

Really?

A quick click here would suggest otherwise.

I still can't make out what your point actually is I'm afraid.....

Re: *All* ADSL Max Info In Here Please
 

I'm sure you were in the 'double standard' camp when ntl offered new and existing customers different deals.


Yes.....?


Well if you read the link you supposedly read and posted you would understand that it isn't 'standard', it will only be implemented if there is enough demand for it. Like with the early days of demand to get DSLAMS installed in exchanges.

You are more then more then more then enough occasions slate ntl for their rollout schedules. Well look at this? Some customers may not even get it? In your book thats a travesty right? (well at least if its ntl it is)


OK, maybe I should have rephrased that differently. At least they offer them.

A quick click here would also suggest otherwise - Thu, 6 Apr 2006 14:48:55 UTC
1st 128K took 125 ms = 1048576 Bytes/sec = approx 8724 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 109 ms = 1202495 Bytes/sec = approx 10005 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 141 ms = 929589 Bytes/sec = approx 7734 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 125 ms = 1048576 Bytes/sec = approx 8724 kbits/sec

These results appear to be rather fast: maybe this page was in the browser cache.



...sigh.
