CarMad Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Only 10million people will get it and it will take until 2012 to get to that figure, if you are in the sticks forget it I think. Costing them £1.5Bn but it will drag us closer to some of the super quick nations such as Japan and Korea. Oh and the speed, 30Mb... nope 50mb nope how does 100mb sounds and with the possibility of going faster still apparently. BT go superfast with broadband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 i'll believe it when i see it. forget theoretical download speed...its all about global throughput and contention ratios. both are going to be fecked big style within 10 years. they need a plan b. i think in a few years, most people will not be getting the real world performance they are currently getting unless there's a investment many fold the bt figure.

Gabster Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 BT are upgrading the whole of the phone network to a new phone network called BT 21 CN (British Telecom 21st Century Network) I would suspect this is ridding on the new network which they are rolling out from early next year to 2012. Currently have a test network in South Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison1379134007 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 i'll believe it when i see it. forget theoretical download speed...its all about global throughput and contention ratios. both are going to be fecked big style within 10 years. they need a plan b. i think in a few years, most people will not be getting the real world performance they are currently getting unless there's a investment many fold the bt figure. I don't think they're going to be fecked... as access technology increases in speed so does carrier technologies and they seem to be able to put more and more down a single piece of fibre glass. But the real key will be how content delivery networks and methods will continue to evolve... i mean you could argue the likes of Akamai: The Leader in Web Application Acceleration and Performance Management, Streaming Media Services and Content Delivery and Limelight Networks etc are already key to how internet works now. Sites like, youtube, facebook, myspace etc would have a hard time delivering their content without CDNs. Personally i think IPv6 will play a role in how content is delivered as it opens up many more options... Oh and one day someone might wake up to the fact that multicast will solve a lot of problems. P2P + IPv6 + multicasting would be really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Im back!!! Switched to BE Broadband 24mbps ............ BE did some line tests prior to me signing up to check if I could be on the superfast adsl2 exchange. Told me I could get about 9mbps but better than the slow connection offered by Bulldog.... or so it seems... Got it online about 2 hours ago and its only sync`ing at about 2.5mbps :confused: Ive put up a support ticket so see what the problem is.....
