Optical Fibre in the UK

[Chilly]

I'm considering dropping down a lower speed as I rarely use the internet any more for anything other than surfing and gaming, and steaming porn is really fast nowadays anyway

mmmmmmmmmmmm, steaming hot pron.

 

[Starman]

BT Infinity FTTC.

 

[Ceixah]

Just done mine now at 21:12 - so peakish time I guess?

 

[Edmond]

BT Infinity, i dont play online so i dont have any problems with it. I have had this test up to 39/8

 

[Appollo]

They will throttle me at certain times and/or if i dl a certain amount.

 

[MYstIC G]

Considering the speed increases -v- cost multiples, I'll stick with O2

Not bad for ADSL afaic (especially as I was streaming the queen at Wembley video from youtube during the test)

 

[soze]

I would love Fiber and i will get a lovely discount if i provision it though work. But my area does not even appear on the 2012 BT Infinty Map.

 

[BloodOmen]

just done a test now @ 22:04 - this is pretty much the cap for me, not seen it higher



DL speed is 4.6mb/s - UL is 212 kb/s

I assume the next package they'll release will be 80-100mb/s prob still low upload tho

Jealous

 

[Bahumat]

I wanna be Old.Osy

 

[soze]

Yeah if only BT were allowed to let lose. I heard that BT are only allowed to push out new tech when they can push it to a certain amount of the population. And that is why we are so far behind these days.

 

[Zarjazz]

If we're dick-waving...

Are we? ...

I suspect my office PC is faster than the speedtest.net servers can cope with.

Can you download a new 500tb game for me please?

 

[Ceixah]

Can you download a new 500tb game for me please?

haha fuck that,


can you marry me so we get divorced? I'll take half the download rate in the divorce ;>

 

[old.Osy]

Zar, we can get Gbit grade connections, some of the geek friends of mine already have them.

Although really, is there any point going above 100mbit in this age? I don't think it's necessary, not for home use anyway.

 

[Keitanz]

No point going above 50mb for home use..

 

[Job]

Until we're streaming a virtual world , gonna need 1-2gbs, so the wife can mooch around in a rendered shopping center.

 

[Raven]

Suck it up bitches!

I live in the sticks. ADSL ftl

 

[BloodOmen]

True! atleast until games start being 50-60gig in size

Depends, mostly the problem is in the other end with my connections.

So until the rest of the world catches up in speed, no real use, but inside highspeed countries it IS fun to download a movie while you barely take a piss

I understand your point and frankly on a decent Gbit connection the limiting factor 95% of the time is the *remote* server so anything over 100Mbit is almost always wasted.

 

[Fafnir]

Had my 100mbit line for about 10 years now. Quite happy with it, got tv (50 channels) and phone via same for 30 euro a month.

 

[Job]

Just changed provider, found him in back of Daily Star...result.

It was less than half that with BT on the same line, same exchange etc
