round & round we go where we end up everyone knows....

Earwig · 12-08-2005, 19:16

I think it is just a trialling thing because it is being switched on and off....

This is what some people say they are getting...........

True Speed (estimated)
Downstream 9410 Kbps (1,176.3 KB/sec) 10162 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 362 Kbps (45.3 KB/sec) 390 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Anyone else Jealous of these people?? Hehehe

Sheffield area I beleive there are some that have been jumped up onto it. Not sure if it is just a testing phase but people ARE using it!!

NTL will hopefully be doing the same when they hear about this.....Well, my fingers are crossed anyway. I have always had their top tier as they have released them and this time will be no difference....Provided they drop that silly 75GB cap.

And as I read this people on NTL are already using 20Mbit if you missed it in the NTL press release. I forget how long ago some NTL customers were using 100 Mbit (yes, hundred in case you think I hit the 0 key twice by mistake). Dolphin Square if you want to know where.

I think you will find unless it has been upgraded this was a fibre optic link into a large appartment complex in London (Dolphin Square) offering a 10Mbps connection for 49.99 a month for 12 months and then refunded so a free service for the big wigs.

Big difference between FTH (Fibre Optic to the Home) and the current routing.

Trust me I know as I used to be on their direct support phone line.

See my original posting found here

Sorry dude Dolphin's connections were 100Mbit LX fibre to the home (FTTH, no such thing as FTH it's either FTTH or FTTP, fibre to the premises).

They might have been planned to be 10Mbps but were 100 according to both a customer of the service I knew there and the configuration that's still present on the switches still in the basement there.

I still use the old 3com CMX cablemodem from when ntl first launched the service back in 1998. As far as I know this has a 10Mbit ethernet port. Although I'm sure maxing out the 10Mbps connection and therefore the modems port when the service appears will be difficult, would it be worth asking ntl to provide me with a new modem (I'm guessing they have 100Mbit ports)?

The only qualification for early birds is being on 3Mb so I can't see how you would not get upgraded in the coming weeks if you upgraded now. Go on, you know you want to.
