[Merged] 100mbps for Bournemouth - Page 3

....well, he could move to Dundee now as well. Although the weather ain't as nice up there.

I suspect that once a few cities have been fibred up using the sewers, then everyone will be doing it and things will "crank" up gear significantly.

I doubt (although don't know for sure), that H20 will deal will residential customers direct, as they seem to be concentrating on business customers. Once they've signed a business contract in a city this lays the foundation for them to fibre up that city for all.

I suspect H20 will lease their cables out to Sky/BT et all as I've not seen H20 make any deals with stb and modem manufacturers or do deals with broadcasters and film studios.

Anyone else noticed H2o have now updated things and there is 6-10 more places getting this?

Horizon · 23-06-2008, 21:58

...er, no. Where does it say that? On their site it only mentions Bournemouth and Dundee.

Please do tell if you know of more cities getting this.

Thanks for the link.

Completely unaware of that. The news item confirms my statement that h2o will lease their networks to other companies for consumer services.

Although other cities haven't been announced yet apart from one other, that article did say that more are on the way. Sheffield is being fibred up now and a company called Ask4 will lease h20 fibres and pump symmetrical broadband and IPTV down the wires. Very nice.

When I said things will crank up significantly, I didn't realise it would be this quick.

Now let the real competition in fast broadband and tv begin.

I'm currently with Ask4 In sheffield (25/25), luckily as far as i'm aware they are working with H2o to put fiber throughout other parts of the city instead of small areas, this could prove interesting.

Your welcome, btw

Official announcement from H2o as per what other area's will be getting FTTH is in a month, i believe.

Quite a few big cities, from what i know

London???? please, pretty please

you'll have to wait and see

Takes 12-24months to do a fully city rollout anyway so you have to hope your in an area where the rollout starts

Horizon · 23-06-2008, 23:45

25/25 makes me feel very envious.

I'm patient to wait - not that I have a choice in the matter, unless I move.

I can usually reach 50/50 quite easily as they give you any free bandwith on the site

Much better than anything VM could provide.

No STM, No Application Throttling etc either

Yes, move down south to get it now

Horizon · 24-06-2008, 00:01

I am really feeling very depressed and jealous, where's that tub of Hagan daaz ice cream.

It basically makes Vm's future 50mb offering look pitiful.

24-06-2008, 00:25

Pass us some ice cream and i might let you come down to have a play with my fast connection :-p

VM's offering is pitterful!!!

This is from ask4 terms and conditions

.1.12 allow Ask4 to carry out port scanning traffic shaping traffic monitoring and such other measures as ask4 may determine from time to time to ensure optimum performance of the Service for all or a majority of users.

You seem not to know your own terms and conditions with
ask4 ?????????????????????

It says "traffic shaping".. What else could it relate to. The more people take up the service this will soon kick in or else why put it in the T&C'S
