Your quote states
The operative words here are one unit of data capacity. Not one fibre
A single fibre can feed between 200 and 600 homes. Going on an estimated penetration of 25% thats between 50 and 150 other customers. The bandwidth laid down by the DOCCIS protocols are 27MB on the Langely platform or 36MB on the Bromley platform. In simple terms that's per fibre or as we said that 50 to 150 other customers. Contention ratios aren't anywhere as simple as that though but I don't want to take away the wonders of google for you
Another thing to remember is not to confuse network bandwidth with upload or download speeds. Oh and never believe the media 
In answer to your original question working for em I'm biased but personally I've had less problems over the last few years than most of my mates who are on BT or the various other providers |
I didn't mean that! Why would i mean that? If I know London now has the most fibre in the world as it carries data from europe to US etc... Why would I mean 1 fibre? (that was in a news article a few months back!) Sorry for mixed signals..
What I mean is according to custom pc.. One street shares an allocated bandwidth margin. And compared to ADSL you have your own dedicated line to the exchange THEN it's 50:1 were as ntl aim for 20:1.
EDIT: Thought i would add they say:
DOCCIS1.0 is 54mb per street
DOCCIS1.1 is higher but im moving so i dont have the mag out no more can't check. Anyway not to take this off track.. would like to know if anyone has moved from bt to ntl and glad they did it?
