FTTC speed thoughts

[Rik]

It sort of got blurred into others. I've got it in Bluray and watched the BBC HD transmission, the former wins hands down.

From reading this thread I'm considering holding off getting FTTP as it sounds like the BT network cant even cope with FTTC.

I wonder what the backhaul capacity is from the exchange.

If only we knew, Mitch.

I'll admit that FTTC hasn't entirely lived up to expectations but there's no way I'd go back to ADSL of any flavour, and if I were offered FTTP I'd grab it with both hands and wait for the backhaul to catch up later!

Well at work we have a 1 Gbps leased link (with another as a backup) shared between about 4000 servers and a few hundred desktops with 100 Mbps links and speedtest.net indicates 50 Mbps (cant run the TBB test due to the firewalls) so if I can get that I'll be chuffed.

If you can get that, I'll be moving in.

My exchange is ADSL2 enabled in the middle of next year! Just in time for it to be obsolete I guess. Hmph! 

I have also experienced extremely high data rates from work, in excess of 38 MB/s (bytes, not bits). I would hope *that* would be fast enough for any user, but then again...

We'll be on Gigabit fibre by the time you get FTTC
