no plans for FTTC here at all full stop.

I been thinking about something ignition said on the VM forums tho.

For VM to supply 100mbit service which comes with 10mbit upload and if they want the user to be able to get 10mbit upload on speedtests then they are going to have to keep utilisation below about 45% on the upstream because the upstream port is only about 18mbit of useable bandwidth. If they do this then I would assume jitter would improve significantly. However I dont think is/will be the case.

Currently with 5mbit been the hghest upload in many areas VM would need to keep utilisation below about 70% and they failing to do that as some areas dont see full upload speeds at peak.

Judging by some of the graphs I seen here I would think 100mbit will be a disaster in some areas, yesterday my upload slowed down to 0.8mbit at its worst on a 3mbit upload, yet previously before they oversubscribed the bandwidth with the uplift I had a solid 1mbit upload 24/7, 0.8mbit upload on the 100mbit product would be a disaster.
