24meg ADSL? Whoa!!

[chubblies]

Clicky:coffee: Who wants one??

[Fusen]

yeah been making the rounds last couple of days, nice to see a company diving in the deep end with a new technology and not going in slow with minor upgrades every once in a while, how much will it be though? 40-70 a month?

[marcode]

Don't cease to innovate.
Don't give me less than the best.
And don't ever cap my dreams.

interesting, but you cant actually see any details yet...

[ABCMan]

it does say somewhere to email them and they will email you the details (takes 48 hours to reply)

[marcode]

and wtf would they need my details for exactly? why cant they just put the info on the site.

im sure somone else who's mailed can paste the contents..

[ABCMan]

i will when they get back to me if no one else has

[nickstan]

There's quite a bit of info on their news release page http://www.bethere.co.uk/news_release.html and http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/01/broadband_be

ive only just got 8mb

24mb is a bit much imo for residents no?

[MajorFU]

ADSL 2+ will support 24Mbps Down and 2Mb Up however this is a bonded service over 2 lines and neither will support voice. the 24Mbps service will not be a residential offering imo

[Fusen]

major you not read up on this? the guy backing it is the uy who brought supar fast speeds to residents in sweden, ofcourse it'll be residential thats the whole point of it, also all isp's will be mving to adsl2/+ so dont worry to much if you are in a long contract like my 12month contract with uko as most likely uko will bring out their own adsl2/+ offerings at same time

[Imperator]

In Australia it's residential and for about 30GB of downloads a month for 24MB/s it is $59.95 AUD a month.

[Fusen]

30gb / month is abit shit for such a connection :/

[Shotgunjim]

Surely once the current cards are swapped out with the new DSL2 cards then 8M will be the norm. Considering that none of the ISP's are paying for this upgrade, we should see an increase on our bills from 2 - 8M..... but that is in a perfect world and we know that wont happen. Although F2S are keeping the same price with a one-off connection charge for existing 2M users.

Well Ive registered so well see what comes back.

I expect the more people who show interest by registering then the quicker things will get upgraded .

[emilios]

they didnt have a good start.

Their priv policy was stolen from another ISP. Cannot remember which one exactly.

Its been sorted out now, but not a good start if u ask me.

[Fusen]

stolen from bulldog but they apologized a couple hours later and fixed it... I know alot of isp's who would have taken a couple of days

[Nikki]

anybody heard anything yet? as i havent heard a dickey bird :cartman

nik

[NuMbNuTz]

Nope, but I saw somewhere they will be rolling out to 45 exchange's in London.
