Oh yes they do

and just about everyone reaches 30mbit.

No they dont

folks,

wightcablenorth/smallworld/omne/aka eon will tell you that the speeds you will receive are up to. very smart marketing by the owner, they DO NOT have a platform that will monitor your BB downloads/uploads
hence this service is marketed as uncapped again the owner will not invest any money(good thing he is tight), the network is built on the Motorola BSR plaforms which run the QAM 256 modulation this will typically give a maximum downstream channel @ 52 Mbps,
since there a currently app 500-750 devices on each BSR do the sums,this is why the speeds will be very poor,
do not be led by guarantees, the infrastucture cannot support this speed, where in the past speed was guaranteed NOT now..!!
No QOS or traffic shapping is employed in this network,
the FIFO scheduling is adopted
20/30meg is unstainable on this network,if popular ,and the speeds will drop for all client classes..


if you want constant high speeds take my advice and look elsewhere..

The Broadband Services Router 2000 (BSR 2000) is a compact, high-performance DOCSIS® 2.0-based CMTS edge router that provides many of the robust features of Motorola’s award-winning BSR 64000, in a low-cost, highly dense platform. The BSR 2000 provides the greatest value in its category for broadband service providers delivering data, voice, data, and multimedia content and services.

The BSR 2000 allows cable operators to generate incremental revenue, reduce operational cost, and more cost-effectively introduce voice, data, and video services to additional subscribers. This compact, high-performance Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) is ideal for small- or medium-sized distribution hubs or for larger sites in the earlier stages of market penetration of broadband service.

Operators can cost-effectively expand service areas while offering rich data, voice, and multimedia services. It offers advanced functionality that allows cable operators to efficiently migrate to DOCSIS® or EuroDOCSIS 2.0 while simultaneously increasing the performance of the existing base of DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 cable modems.

It offers four upstream ports and includes RFSentry, which consists of a spare receiver port and the ability to implement Advanced Spectrum Management to monitor cable modem infrastructure without impacting service performance. Operators can implement sophisticated noise cancellation to meet the DOCSIS specifications so they can generate increased revenues, extend the life of installed modems, and deploy DOCSIS or EuroDOCSIS 2.0 cable modems at the pace that makes economic sense.

The compact BSR 2000 can be deployed as a stand-alone unit or in small clusters to cost-effectively extend broadband access infrastructure to additional subscribers. This easy-to-use platform can help carriers develop a competitive edge in defining, deploying, and managing broadband services.

Traffic flows from multiple BSR 2000s can be aggregated by the carrier-class BSR 64000 to bring robust traffic management to a distributed environment. The BSR 2000 changes the value proposition for small or early stage broadband access network locations by offering a highly compact CMTS solution that can be installed in minutes to enable the cost-effective delivery of voice, data, and multimedia content and services.

Does all this sound familiar, speeds upgraded and service goes to the dogs
