really, thats just bad, iv been away from NTL BB for a few years and came back in dec, i didnt realise that the blue NTL CM here wouldnt be DOCSIS2, but still, while it appears that DOCSIS1 isnt that impressive today its still well within our current expectations and wants for better upload ratio's, 1/10 th or even 1/5 th of the available max 1.1 spec isnt asking that much of the hardware if anything substantial.
"The introduction of DOCSIS™ 2.0, the latest specification from CableLabsÂÂÂà ‚®, allows
upstream capacity per channel up to 3 times greater than in DOCSIS 1.0/1.1 (DOCSIS 1.x) systems, with rates of 30.72 Mbps per channel as compared to
10.24 Mbps in
DOCSIS 1.1. What this means is that with DOCSIS 2.0, MSOs can more cost-effectively offer symmetric services such as peer-to-peer networking, videoconferencing, Internet Protocol (IP) telephony, mission critical remote applications, and online gaming to their residential as well as new business clients.

yea, i didnt make my point clear enough there, i was and am more concerned with larger streaming data in many forms than piddly html, my son, allan's HL2 hosted server game was swamping the 2m/256k before i told him to sack it earlyer for instance.
did anyone notice thereg story about our old friends C&W
"Bulldog doubles broadband speeds
Sweet 16
Bulldog has cut the ribbon on a faster broadband service that provides speeds of up to
16 meg.
The local loop unbundling (LLU) operator - owned by Cable & Wireless (C&W) - says its decision to double the speed of its existing service makes use of ADSL2+ technology and provides
upload speeds of
1 meg.
The ISP has two packages on offer - Anytime Plus which costs £15 a month and Unlimited Plus at £25 a month. A package aimed at small businesses will cost SMEs around £45 a month.

and heres yet another application that will make even more demands on that upload speed, as i'v been saying over and over, theres far more coming to market to take that bandwidth than mear unicasting torrents and unicasting user P2P (its ok for for the ISP's to use multicasting and P2P to save their cashflow/bandwidth though), and i expect even more upload ratio/demand soon enough.

"Sony to bring net-based TV-to-PSP streaming to Europe
By
Tony Smith28th April 2006 11:05 GMT
Sony will next month launch its LocationFree TV (LFTV) service in the UK and other key European territories, allowing PlayStation Portable users to receive television programmes transmitted from the home and out across the internet. Mac users are to get access to the service too.
LPTV support is included in the PSP firmware update - version 2.7 - Sony announced this week. The upgrade - due to be posted on the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
website on 25 May - also adds podcast and RSS support, and the ability to handle AAC and WMA music files.
LPTV will be launched in the UK, Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, where, from next month, consumers will be able to buy Sony's LF-PK1 unit, which streams TV, DVD and other content from AV devices out onto the web. Any LFTV-compatible device can receive the stream and control what's streamed and when."
not to mention they are using that H.264/AVC EU Standards thing again for DVB-H (handheld) i'd assume.
