Quoting Gordon Henderson <gordon+dcglug@xxxxxxxxxx>:
I'm sure I read something on ThinkBroadband.com about Plymouth and Ivybridge getting FTTC possibly by the end of next year with the option for some subscribers getting the option to FTTP although it didn't say from what I remember if the FTTP was for those who are far away from a cabinet or near to a cabinet.On Thu, 30 Sep 2010, Julian Hall wrote:FYI :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/11444083And http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/30/bt_cornwall_broadband/ AKA: Cornwall Wins, Devon loses. No mention of any Devon areas in the last round of exchanges to be upgrade:http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/4401-bt-openreach-announce-159-new-fibre-broadband-exchanges.htmlHmph. Gordon
I see in other news Virgin are upgrading the upload speeds of subscribers so upload speeds will be 10% of the download speed, so 50MBit down/5Mbit up, 20MBit down/2Mbit up and 10MBit down/1MBit up. The only drawback being that P2P is now being throttled in peak time. I do wonder if that is partly to do with BT rolling FTTC?
Still, good news for the folks in Cornwall, I wonder when it'll come to rural areas of Devon?
