TalkTalk rolling out 80mb optical fibre

[BloodOmen]

In a matter of weeks already got my upgrade in queue, glad i'm not one of these people thats ever had problems with them.

 

[ECA]

Is this their LLU version of Infinity? Their rollout date for my line is the same as my infinity date so that's what I'm assuming?

 

[BloodOmen]

Its their own version yea, Infinity isnt going to 80mb at the same time if I read this article correctly making TalkTalk the fastest out of the 2 for now atleast - I may be wrong tho, either way its nice to see the UK is catching up with net speeds atleast, shame our upload speed is still dog shit tho

 

[ECA]

Yeah the 40mb version is being retired for new customers, this is just the next stage of infinity - the trial is open to all isps on the same exchanges.

For Information
For all CPs
Withdrawal of the GEA-FTTC 40/15Mbit/s product variant from the Openreach Product Portfolio

Openreach announced at the June NGA triallist Working group (TWG) the exciting changes to its GEA-FTTC product options made possible by a planned band plan implementation and of its intention to remove the GEA-FTTC 40/15Mbp/s product variant from further sale as part of that plan. This will be followed up with a new GEA-FTTC 80/20Mbit/s product variant in the near future and the complete withdrawal of the GEA-FTTC 40/15Mbit/s product variant.
From July 31st 2011, new sales of the GEA-FTTC 40/15Mbit/s product variant will cease and orders will no longer be able to be placed as of that date. Existing customers will remain on the GEA-FTTC 40/15Mbit/s product variant which will be fully supported until alternative options become available.
With the arrival of new product options, Openreach will work closely with CPs and their customers to ensure a smooth transition away from the GEA-FTTC 40/15Mbit/s variant to an alternative suitable product variant.

Jesus ECA, are you allergic to the erase formatting button?

 

[ECA]

As a superior human being, it looks fine to me

 

[Ch3tan]

Switch to the other styles and preview it, it only looks correct on that style.

Use the eraser button you wank

 

[TdC]

so THAT's what the white style looks like

Still waiting for Sky to offer this. My cousin in London has Virgin 50 or 100 meg but today at 16.00 my 20 meg ADSL was faster than his it really seems like the sell far more bandwidth than they can supply.

Download Speed: 37688 kbps (4711 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 1690 kbps (211.3 KB/sec ) - Basically what i'm getting with 40mb optical fibre atm, talktalk are sadly capped at 200kb/s upload which I thought was rather shit but I refused to go with BT so I had to make do I'm hoping with the upgrade to 80mb the upload goes up aswell and doesnt stay capped at 200kb/s... it would be rather bollocks if it does, one would expect it to rise to 350-450kb/s atleast.

Still going at full speed ahead.

They arent that bad, most people have had issues with customer support than anything else but thats easily sorted out just dont phone them or you'll end up talking to an indian guy/girl that cant speak fluent english and will ultimately get very frustrating. Instead mail their tech support which is british, I even e-mail tech support about billing related issues and they sort it out generally

what the shuddering fuck are you leeching ?!

 

[ECA]

200kb upload?

The whole point of a connection like that is the upload! I'm on 16mb as is, if i go from "cup of tea" to "half a cup of tea" for my download I don't give a fuck, the main thing is I have 2mb upload atm and can't do what I want to do ( stream my gaming at 1080p ), have to use medium quality 720p

on infinity w/ that upload I could stream to twitch/own3d at the same time in full quality 1080p.

Aye, thats why I want higher upload for streaming games, the download is just a side bonus.

The earth is the third planet from the sun, so isn't every problem we have on earth a third world problem?

Broken? I think swedish internet is the black guy of the internet, well endowed.. Had 100mb/s for the past 11 years now. But rest of the internet is a bottleneck, normally Steam give me up to 10mb/s dl, but last week when i dl´d Star Trek Online i got a wooping 25mb/s. But patch days im happy to get 1mb/s on steam.
