Re: 200Mb trial
My application to be on the 200Mb trial has been accepted. The trial starts just as soon as the World Cup is over. A variety of upload speeds are to be tested.

We will be given a different modem at least. Those without 100/1000 ethernet will be given a router and ethernet cards too. However 85% of trialists already have 100/1000 ethernet.

The modems will be lab configured and then adjusted remotely for different speed configs. Because the trial is on a different circuit we can remove it and use our old 50Mb modems whenever we like. Indeed the trial organiser says he will be happy for people to run two modems + routers if they wish, effectively having two broadband connections for 6 months.
