I also have emails promising me millions if I send them my bank account details.

I think people should stop dreaming and wait until at least ISP level trials are underway and then subsequent products appear on the price lists.

Would you care to post that email here, please

Sorry but I already deleted it

ignition its as I said in other posts.

plusnet are now in my view primarily a phone/voice provider and broadband is just used to drag those voice customers in.

Do you agree with me at all on that? As your figures seem to back my case up.

with 40/20 I guess they banking on the higher upload speed on the lower product to be a customer magnet. A difference over other 40/10 products to make it standout.

Its also possible there is a wholesale price drop incoming which plusnet may be privy to.

I was probably fixing a typo, as I make tons of them. I usually add -edit- if its a bigger change.

If it was intended to be a strong magnet I'm sure it would have much greater visibility than being hidden in the "More details" dropdowns. It doesn't stand out.

You do realise that a jump to 120 would mean a VDSL2 profile jump from 17a (100 Mbps) to 30a (200 Mbps), making lines run more "hot". I do not know if the profile can be set per line or per cabinet (maybe someone can clarify that?). In any case, going to 200Mhz is going to introduce even more cross talk, which I suppose is why the vectoring would be introduced. The way I see it, only people very near the cabinet are likely to see any significant jump in speed in relation to their existing "theoretically obtainable" speed.

AIUI the aim of vectoring is to improve the performance within the 80Mbps band product.

Profile 30a doesn't look to be on the map, never mind the horizon, at the moment, given that the specified requirement for CP modems is 17a + vectoring.

He's making it up.

That's mad, I still have emails from nearly 20 years ago!

why else would it be there?

I've just obtained a "4K" 3840x2160 .mov video file compressed at 64Mbps VBR and it's unplayable on my machines even though I have the codec installed. So as well as increased bandwidth for streaming one is going to have to upgrade hardware even for 20 to 30Mbps "4K" stuff?

Can't you just watch them on Youtube?
