Next upgrades.
I know most of us have had our 10Mb upgrade's,when are the next lot of upgrade's coming, I think next time they upgrade they should try matching the upload speed with the download speed.

That will never never happen as it would just make conjestion even worse than it is now with everybody trying too upload and download half the internet at the same time, out of interest, what would you want to upload at 10Mb/s ?????

lets not forget that alot of ISP providers in other countries you can download and upload at the same speed upto 10mb/s are even more then that one day we will get same upload as download in the u.k once ISP providers are ready to upgrade their networks so that it can handle all the connections & prevent congestion. also you might end up paying more for a broadband service like that, once its available

Re: Next upgrade's.
wow i dream of having a good upload speed say like 100+ kbs i would pay for a little extra for that. i hate my korena friend bragging he has to keep his upload speed under 5000 kbs to not hogg all the upload speed on downlad sites.

It does happen, and will happen. At the moment it's offered on SDSL (Symetical Digital Subscriber Line) but only at a few selected BT exchanges. To see this on cable however, i doubt it would be any time soon.

It's still a business product and not really an option for most home users, but if you are close enough to your exchange and can pay for it 2Mbit symettrical can be yours.

Re: Next upgrade's.
With DOCSIS 3.0 offering SDSL speeds over cable shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Next upgrade's.
If by SDSL you mean 2Mbit symettrical then DOCSIS 2 can do it already, however still with cable upstream will be an 'issue' preventing super duper symettry.

Re: Next upgrade's.
Yep but I don't forsee ntl moving to DOCSIS 2.0 rather going to DOCSIS 3.0 and utilising the greater upstream bw that the bonded DOCSIS 2.0 upstreams give.

My post was badly put, I should have said that even with 3 it'll still be an issue doing super high speed symettry.

Can I ask what you do for a living, do you work for ntl or Telewest or in an IT field?

Re: Next upgrade's.
Ha I'll take that as a compliment but nope neither. In fact not even in the field, currently in the superbly skilled field of McDonalds.....just need to get university out of the way then the worlds my oyster.

I was just going by that if ntl hadn't already adopted DOCSIS 2.0 by now, they weren't going to at all. Maybe because nobody markets their product by how big their upstream is.
