Re: How fast could BT Infinity go in the long term?

Using the current settings, 17a, with vectoring, theoretically Infinity could do 120Mb Symmetrically, or have 246Mb split between upstream and downstream.

If BT were to increase the bandwidth to profile 30a, which requires regulatory approval, the bandwidth to split between upstream and downstream becomes 417Mb.

Please note that this is with a single copper pair. Nearly all homes have more than one pair, and with 2 physical pairs and a technology called 'phantom' DSL over 750Mb has been achieved at 500m from the cabinet.

So, for the majority of people, if you say 500Mb - 750Mb you're about there.
Sorry to resurrect a thread however I'm curious about vectoring.

Excuse my ignorance but I only have basic knowledge of all things broadband.

As I understand it vectoring helps to reduce crosstalk thus potentially giving improvements on speed and has the potential to see more users reaching the now 80mb is this correct ?

Will vectoring also help to increase headline speeds ? When are we likely to see it introduced on the Openreach network ?

Numerous places seem to suggest that Vectoring won't be available through ECI cabs ? Is this correct or have I read it wrong ? All the cabs in this area even the ones being installed are this particular type which if the above is true would seem a strange decision by Openreach.

What speeds could I expect from vectoring , here's my stats from HH 5 on Infinity 2

6. Data rate: 20000 / 79995
7. Maximum data rate: 37276 / 129695
8. Noise margin: 16.7 / 21.7
9. Line attenuation: 0.0 / 8.1
10. Signal attenuation: 0.0 / 8.1

On the rare occasion my router has rebooted the downstream line and signal attenuation figures seem to have changed is that normal , they're currently 8.1 and I've seen 8.6 and 9.6 I thought this figure shouldn't change.
