Blueyonder 25Mb

But WHY?!?!

I don't think I'll ever fully understand this facination with huge (alledged) bandwidth figures. Someone gets 2 squillionmegawotsits so the next guy has to get 4 squillionmegawotsits. So what. If people used their existing, alledged, bandwidth to the max then there wouldn't be enough hours in the day to watch all that video (=pron in most cases). So what's the point of getting a 6-fold increase in bandwidth? You don't have the time to view the videos downloaded now so what will you do with 6x as many? For most people, the only time they can see any significant difference between a 512kb service and a squillionmegawotsits service is when downloading major OS updates.

i'll believe it when I see what the real speed is.

fixed.

Sod 25Mbit connections, keep the 10Mbit and increase the upload. Ill still be able to download a film in 10 mins.

The point is, if you are getting a speed bump for NO extra cost, why complain?

 

[Gundam God]

I'm certainly not, downloading now at 1.1mbps instead of 520kbps, w00t!

Free upgrades rock.

Whats hard to understand?

Faster connection = less time waiting.

You can get decent speeds if you go to the right places.

sorry if someone has already asked this in the thread, but does that mean more free bandwidth upgrades for us blueyonder users?

it will do, after it has come out. Normal 2mb customers might jump up to say 4/10 when 25/100 comes out

My guess is if the 10mb goes to 25mb, the 4mb will go to 10mb and the 2mb will go to 5mb.
