New XXL 50Mbps STM - Page 2

*sloman* · 19-03-2009, 10:26

So 50MB will have close to 7.5GB to download in the day time =( could be worse like 3GB!!!!

Hum may still upgrade as 7.5GB is an ok amount 10GB woul have been better!

I think 50Mb could be target as 4Gb per day on the STM when it come out !

I think Virgin Media should scrap the upload as a bandwidth usage allowance on the STM.

You do realise that the link is is unofficial and that Virgin have not announced any STM for 50Mb at this time.

I am really not looking forward to the STM on 50Mb but o well if it happens it happens

No ones like STM at all ! Exspecially all the tv streaming out now eg: you tubes, bbci player, itv catchup and five demand, and sky player etc. It will eat up all bandwidth quickly and then lose buffering on it when being throttling.

Hrm?

That's the 20Mbit / XL figures. There is no STM on 50Mbit officially nor on that link.

Hows that when 20Mb has a 6gb limit in the day at the moment and in the trails there is no daytime STM on any package until its released I suggest you don't post your views of what STM might unless you have some hard cold fact you can back it up with.

Yet

To be fair STM trials are set to begin as soon as the 50Mbit rollout is complete.

The figure which was laid out (good few months ago now)

Was 12.5GB during 10am-11PM @ weekends.

9GB during 4pm-9pm weekdays.

With a 7.5Mbit throttle.

Stabhappy · 19-03-2009, 13:34

If that's the case, I will _never_ get 50mb. Those limits are horrendous.

GazCBG · 19-03-2009, 13:38

I would think they will throttle by 75% which is 12.5mb
As 10mb and 20mb is throttled by 75%

graf_von_anonym · 19-03-2009, 15:57

Am I imagining that you've poorly copied and pasted a table here? When I look at the link that's credited as the source, all I see for 50Mb is TBA. Which would mean To Be Announced. Which would suggest that it has not yet been announced. Which would make this thread useless speculation predicated upon improper formatting, yes?

BenMcr · 19-03-2009, 16:17

You would indeed be right. Nowhere has it been announced what the STM on 50Mbit will be or when it will be introduced

It's been known that it is going to be trialled as soon as the rollout is complete, those were neils own words

BenMcr · 19-03-2009, 16:37

Yup it will be but nothing has been announced as to when that will be or what levels will part of the trial

telfordcable · 19-03-2009, 16:56

Why is STM throttle by 75% on all packages eg: L (10mb), XL (20mb) and XXL (50mb) it doesn't seem very fair !

should be like this:

L - 50% XL - 65% XXL - 75%
