Yes, and more (50/50 if the bandwith is there)

You need to realise its FTTH (well FTM) with a direct-linkup to ISP, shaping isnt needed.

Not all of their addresses are fibre yet, though all are getting the H2o treatment soon as far as im aware

If you look on sites like west one where its fibre the packages are 4/4 10/10 and 25/25

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth

my point is still valid. Up to 25 meg is what they say..
OH but dependant on where you live ?????.
If you can achieve the speeds advertised and are prepared to pay the monthly charge £50.00 then more power to you. However do not lead prople to believe they are the best ISP when clearly they are not.
Having read the t&c I would certainly be wary of entering into a contract with them,,,,,

-rolls eyes-

Are you a troll?

Go read up on the reviews they get 10/10, they ARE the best ISP in the UK providing you can get them.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth

they only have a smalll customer base so they will say they are the best, they are localised so tbh it cant really compare to a larger isp covering the majority of the country

That particular site is too small to justify the cost of fibre, for the forseeable future it will be staying as is. The rest of the sites have high bandwidth links.

Currently no residential sites are on H20 fibre.

I meant link up, as per H2o comments you use some of their fibre for site to site linkups but that's it i believe?

I dont know what site it was to be honest, havent checked

Also, there was a few problems in west one last night (dead dns), did you pick up on it ?

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth

No idea I'm afraid, been on holiday and not back at work until tomorrow Have you raised it with Support?

We currently use H2O for some short fibre runs between buildings at a couple of sites, but yes we are looking to roll out a fibre ring in Sheffield this summer.

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth

Decided not to, it was only down for a few hours and only affected US sites so i figured it was maybe a problem with level3 rather than you/ask4 directly.

You have many people excited about that

Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth

We'll still be operating the same way (multi-tenant units) but it will give us more resilience and make it easier for us to add new sites in the future. The developers will still need to be on board like now so you're not going to be able to get ask4 in your 3 bedroom semi anytime soon
