21CN

zrerz · Mar 18, 2008, 12:51:13

Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if Idnet are involved with or planning to use this new BT 21CN service?

If so, any news from Idnet on this subject?

Rik · Mar 18, 2008, 12:53:45

All ISPs are involved, Dave and will begin using the new services as they become available. I believe that IDNet will be offering the changes as soon as they can, but BT is being a little fuzzy on dates.

Thanks Rik

NP.

My best guess is this autumn, but it will depend on exchange conversions, of course.

when I last read up on this, I think we will be into the 22nd century before BT enable Penzance exchange

Rik · Mar 19, 2008, 09:11:53

I know how you feel, Philip, we're well down the list too...

Think my exchange is due to move into the 21st Century in 2011, and by the time that comes it may well have been moved back to sometime in the 4th millenium

How do you find out?

Malc · Mar 19, 2008, 13:43:21

I'm not even on the list

madasahatter · Mar 19, 2008, 13:46:34

do the broadband availability checker on there Malc - mine must have changed, cos it's now saying that there's no date set

Malc · Mar 19, 2008, 13:49:05

I'm looking in the wrong place, looked at completed ones.

The date is Q3 2008.

So, when this happens will I get much faster broadband?

madasahatter · Mar 19, 2008, 13:49:53

your guess is as good as any other hoobs

A blue Hoob lives there

Rik · Mar 19, 2008, 14:20:49

Rik, this thread drifted a bit, but what happens when my exchange upgrades in q3 this year, will I get 16 meg then and what else?

Will it cost more?

Rik · Mar 19, 2008, 14:50:42

You won't get it automatically, Malc. What I suspect will happen is that a new range of products will become available as exchanges upgrade. I haven't seen anything on pricing though.
