Title: New 'Sam Knows' Web Site Design
Post by: quandam on Jun 14, 2009, 12:31:22
Maybe some have reported that the 'Sam Knows' web site has been updated, if so, apologies.http://www.samknows.com/broadband/

I'd seen but not noticed, if you know what I mean, Q. Thanks.  :thumb:

I loved this bit, though:

QuoteIPStream Connect
There isn't much to say about IPStream Connect (the 21CN variant of IPStream). It uses the same backend infrastructure as the WBC products (including the MSIL), and therefore allows ISPs to maintain the newer WBC connections and the older IPStream connections on one product from BT. Aside from this backend change, the same product set will be available as on the existing IPStream lineup. The launch of IPStream Connect has been pushed back to Summer 2008 now, due to problems found in testing.

They either need a proofreader or an update. ;D

Now all they need is to get it up to date on the exchange checker.

The new site looks pretty good :). Just read the broadband performance report and it makes for interesting reading.

The exchange checker reports a date of 31/03/10 for switchover to 21CN WBC for me, but IDNet said BT haven't even released a switchover date!

Makes me wonder if we'll ever go onto 21CN ::)

Be careful, Tom, not to confuse 21CN (voice) and WBC (broadband), they are happening at different times for most people.

Yeah, Samknows thinks I switch to 21CN in Q2 2009 (effectively now) and 31/03/10 for WBC. Seems odd as I thought WBC was supposed to be rolled out before 21CN? Could be wrong though!

It generally is, Tom, but we are talking about BT here. ;)

That is a very fair point, which must certainly be taken into consideration ;D
