I don't think STM on the upload side is going anywhere any time soon. I can dream, though. Then again, stranger things have happened.

Coming soon.... lol

[mmm]

I feel so sorry for those that haven't yet had the speed double from 50/3 to 100/6, or are suffering from over subscription - when it works it works well, but I worry what will happen when the students come back to uni...

Just out of curiosity I just did my own test.....erm....didn't expect that! Done at 5:45am in Bo'ness near Edinburgh. Thought you guys might be interested.

I'm away tonight but I'll test again tomorrow to see if it's permanent.

I'd be interested in seeing your modem stats, particularly operational configuration.

Dunno, I'm at work now and won't be home again until tomorrow pm. I did a quick couple of downloads from Astraweb and it was peaking out at 19Mb which is a lot less than I'd expect from a 300Mb connection. Normally max out at about 17.5.

I'll check again tomorrow just thought some of you might be curious about this.

Been told another free speed increase planned before 2016.

For some maybe.

As no announcement has been made i am assuming all the 200mbit and 300mbit configs we are seeing are part of limited trials. The 19mbit comment above is interesting because i can get 18MB/sec downloading torrents so you would expect ~36MB/sec if you was on 300mbits. Maybe that is what they are trialling atm; what throughput is realistically achievable.

In some nodal areas the uplift has been provided earlier to test load on the network, see how things go.

Bleh, I suppose now that it's hit the news and people are worried about contention I should write a blog post about all of this.

I'll try and get it done before the end of the weekend, however it'll probably be very long and an involved piece of work as I'll cover not just the uplifts but network evolution to support the higher speeds.

If someone could PM me tomorrow morning when my hangover is still in full effect to remind me to get on with it that'd be appreciated.

Ditto Sunday when it'll be even worse as huge party.

I'm worried about contention as my area suffers from it in the evenings as it is
