My UBR is basildon.

dont know if it has anything to do with the fact that originally basildon was scheduled as "being planned" for a long time before a date was given for the upload increase and 100mbit rollout. Maybe they had to do a lot of upgrades before hand.

But even on 50mbit previously I have to say I was getting around 48mbit even then.

VM hasnt been too bad when its working lol.

Basildon though I think does occasionally suffer from utilisation issues though, because before I got my signal levels sorted out I was having erratic broadband speeds.. and 1 time I phoned up and the 100mbit guy on 2nd line said my UBR was experiencing high utilisation at that time.

Infinity bliss!

[RB2004]

you do realise that probably the only reason infinity is getting such good latency at the moment is because only a small amount of people are actually using infinity at the moment?

as either the majority of people just havent switched from BT ADSL to infinity, or are with other ADSL providers like sky etc.

and also, a lot of areas still dont have infinity as it is being rolled out.

So only time will tell if those kind of results will last.

But, you also have to remember BT have a lot more funding than VM to upgrade if capacity becomes spread thin.

more to do with that infinity doesnt have the same upstream capacity restrictions that VM does. If infinity ever starts causing BT grief with capacity, I expect them to pump up traffic shaping rather than just let jitter go out of control. I not a fan of shaping but at least they dont just ignore over subscription.

And the only reason my VM is so slow is because too many people are using it. Your point is?

I don't care if the service gets bad 5 years down the line, I'm not waiting around 5 years for my terrible service to become not-quite-so-terrible-in-comparison-because-everything-else-is-now-bad-too. Broadband is a monthly service, not a long-term investment. I'd rather have the benefit now, thanks.

It uses the same capacity as BT's ADSL.

No they don't, BT aren't allowed to upgrade capacity too much as it would be anti-competitive against other licenced telecomms operators.

It has good latency because it doesn't suffer from the same upstream problems as cable, it's a technology thing. DSL will nearly always beat cable for jitter.

Virgin Media 50Mbit (with VMNG300 + AirPort Extreme):



O2 Broadband (synced at 19463 down/2122 up):



Both at the same location - the jitter on the VM connection is pretty bad!
