Could be of interest to some people here I guess

All but a handful of exchanges will 'go live' on the 31st.

Great news dude - nice one.

My 2Mbps service with Pipex will be upgraded to 8Mbps in a few weeks :cool:

Finally!

Slinwagh · 2 Mar 2006 at 10:08

Im just above the limit for 2Meg aso as long as i get some sort of speed increase I will be happy.

I mainly play games, download the odd patch and surf etc so Im in no great need for faster, just be nice to have!

argh cramp!

I can still only get 1mb.

Scum! :mad:

According to a SNR/Attenuation calculator someone posted on here recently (Tolien posted it IIRC) I can get ~4mbps on this line which would be a nice boost from 2mbps, though having said that I'm perfectly happy with 2meg atm.

Just need to wait for ISPs like Eclipse to reveal their plans for services now

Good news for most I guess but expect the caps and limits to be imposed on nearly all ISPs if you *could/can* get 8meg and faster upstream.

I checked the BT adsl checker which they said was being updated with the new speeds, my local exchange say's 2mb max, my friend who's on another exchange a couple of miles away can get >2mb

If it says "tentative", then that in other words means they don't have a date.
Can't see thousands of exchanges being magically enabled in one 24 hour period.

Mook · 2 Mar 2006 at 13:42

Anyone got a link to the SNR/Attenuation calculator?

OllyM · 2 Mar 2006 at 13:44

Look in the shiny new sticky?

Interesting but are newnet good service havnt heard much about them. ?

9761 · 2 Mar 2006 at 15:00

Ive just signed with them for 1mb product,
Ive heard good things about them on ADSL guide.

Plus when you sign up they give you some added extras like 750mb webspace and upto 24 email accounts.

Hi

SHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh dont tell everyone about NewNet ... i signed up a month ago so dont want a mass influx to spoil my speeds

... but will say after the slowing down of Pipex , NewNet is a breath of fresh bandwidth to my connection
