Re: 50Mb areas

Hi,

Perhaps I'm being a little suspicious... But I'll bet that Preston is upgraded near the end of the list...

They seem to be enjoying letting the current UBR's creak on under heavy oversubscription whilst trialling new STM.

I am in the unfortunate position of being unable to get a decent broadband connection from anyone !

ADSL is ok but because of my poor BT line I get 4Mb max and random dropouts.
Cable would be ok if only they'd upgrade my UBR which I have been told is running in the high 90%'s most evenings meaning 20Mb is impossible and 10Mb can be obtained for a few hours a day (so much for superduper fibre optics !)

I have had oversubscription tickets open since September 2007 (yes 2007, 19 months) and have been told by the CEO office that there is no upgrade on the horizon..

I'm guessing that when 50Mb is released in Preston, a lot of the pressure will be taken off the existing tiers (or am I dreaming ?)
