New Technology

[Ramuthra]

only copper lines...pfft im already using fibre optic right up until my house, i doubt i'll see much improvement for the <20m of copper cable between me and that

[LifeExpired]

TV services which stream content will be benefiting from this greatly then, good news :D


Lew.

[TriumpH]

me liky long time yes

What about the upload speed? Could i get 50MB/sec?

[Thrill_Machine]

i wonder what they will charge for it :P

im paying for an 8mb line and recieving no better than 2mb at very best right now, id love an increase on that

Same and i receive about 3.5mb's most of the time.

So true. Their service is god awful.

I've got a 20MBps line but my speeds are alot lower, and my laptop says I get 11MBps. Sure doesn't feel like it.

If this new technology were to come into service, what year could the UK expect it?

I am one of the few people who are actually getting more from their ISP than they are supposed to, instead of paying for speeds they don't receive;

1. I am supposed to be paying $135 but i pay $65
2. I get my cable TV bundled with my Broadband and get $20 off my Cable subscription monthly
3. I pay for a 17mb line yet i get speeds of up to 2.7mbps - that is higher than 24mb lines.

In about 2 years, the algorithim once patented should be implemented by most major isps, which would a helluva lot faster than the installation of fibre optic. The UK could prolly expect it in 3-4 years.

ive seen this a while ago, cant wait to see if this is actually implemented. would be amazing, and my 15MB connection is already pretty fast compared to others.
