50Mb areas - Page 29

Just need the addl areas done now.

And Gillingham.....

Let's see how many pages we can fill this thread up with 'They just need to do xxxxx area' posts shall we?

I'm sure everyone in an area which has not yet been deployed is very anxiously awaiting it, not a huge addition to the thread saying so, or asking when xxx area is being done as no-one who will say on here really knows.

Heck mine is 2 weeks overdue now

We could probably do with a sticky which says which areas have been deployed thusfar actually, that'd rock.

Someone isn't in a good mood today.....

Ignitionnet · 07-03-2009, 11:53

5 of previous 10 posts to mine above say pretty much nothing besides 'I hope it comes to xxxx' / 'come on xxxxx'. Not nice to sift through trying to find interesting posts. We can take as read that people are eagerly waiting for the service, be it for 50M or capacity relief.

EDIT: That said no I'm not in the best of moods I've been in constant pain for nearly 2 weeks and it's especially bad this morning

this then will brighten your day up.

anyone know when cpc2-bele6-0-0-cust350.belf.cable.ntl.com is going to be upgraded.

sorry broadbandings i sent you a pm trying to find out my ubr. just google'd the damn thing and found so please don't feel the need to reply.

I thought belfast had been upgraded to 50Mbit but obvoiusly not the whole city it seems.

Check the website or call nobody on here knows as there is no public rollout plan based on individual UBR's!

now kinda back on topic, am i right in thinking the 50meg configs are working on the 200/255/256 ambit modems too ? i think that is a major screw up security wise ! you would think they would restrict the devices a config worked on really to prevent people cloning and forcing 50meg.

Yes.

I have just had my installation done; the 8th. to been upgraded in Coventry. Speedtest at speedtest.net shows 50893 download and 1588 upload. The tech was only here for 30 minutes because Virgin sent me the new router so I had installed it myself.

Very happy

I'm sure the people who are now able to single handedly saturate their entire downstream and are pulling 30+Mbit are quite happy about it.

My thoughts are that hardware and software that fails to adhere to standards should cause said hardware/software to lose its' DOCSIS certification, that might persuade operators to test properly.

Two questions.

Am I right in saying that docis 1 and docsis 3 run on two different networks? If so, people screwing around getting 30mbit+ on hacked modem would not distrupt the docsis 3 network only the docsis 1 network?

Isn't everything eventually going on the docsis 3 network eventually so this hack is on a temporary thing?

The DOCSIS 3 network is seperate in the sense that it uses a different frequency. DOCSIS standards are backwards compatible so DOCSIS 3 allows all DOCSIS 1/1.1/2.0 standards to work on the same hardware. I think these issues should be cleared up as when people are migrated onto the new hardware i think the modems are forced to use DOCSIS 2 which has better security and makes cloning alot harder. But at the moment the people screwing the network will be saturating the bandwith from the existing network AFAIK

As I mentioned proximity to an enabled area means nothing, I have them directly to my North, East, West and South for example.

As has been mentioned many times, including I might add this very page of the thread, no-one knows when areas are going live until after they have gone live, or at best a single day before

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/34746764-post423.html for the mention on this page.
