Just been talking to one of the Network guys and they are saying that we might re-segment the downstream carriers freq. As you prob work out that if they re-segment it it would give us more to play with.. The problem we have with upstream speed is we use (i think there called QTA cards) on the UBR's. At a grand a piece they be a bit expensive... Down here in Glos and Chelt we have 50 of them. Because the upstream is at 20mhz - 29mhz it gets effected by the noise so they won't really consider going to QAM64 or above at that freq cux of the problems we would get. And the money to do it. We would have to treble our work force just to try and keep the noise down. Fun Hey... There are talks thou of moving the upstream channels to above 100mhz or above but it would mean replacing all the QTA cards. Again MONEY........ Anymore info I get I will post or if you got any direct Q'a pirvate message me.
