Apparantly a turbo button is to be introduced to temporarily speed up your connection.
Speeds any faster will require the coax cable to each house to be replaced with fibre cable as coax can only cope with speeds up to 12mbps.
You sure? According to that link, NTL appear to think that they can squeeze up to 50 Mb from the cable network using DOCSIS 3. And, I suspect, as more efficient encoding methods are introduced, the network will have the bandwidth available to surpass that..


to CableForum BTW.
