Re: Check This Out - ntl 100Mbps

ignition I am starting to see signs that people prefer to have a minimal sustainable level of service rather then a hyped up max speeds that plummets to below what they had previously, now I know in the business of residental broadband speeds will go down during peak time that is to be expected. But I think if the customers max is 25% of the total max that is shared between a couple of hundred people then their is going to be the same problems that we have now with 10meg. 100megabit on fibre eg. isnt linked to a 400mbit backhual it would probably be at least 1 gigabit so 10% of max making it take longer to hit saturation. In japan I believe its sort of like sweden they get good speeds within their own isp so little local saturation but the international peering is crappy so actual internet traffic is poor. Japan cant really do much about that tho it is their location in the world they will suffer distance related problems.
