FTTC distance from cabinet speed deterioration


[link to this post] 		 
I know FTTC is still very new, but I can't seem to find any info which correlates distance to the VDSL2 cabinet, and speed attained. I.E a graph. Lots of ADSL graphs about, even ADSL2+, but no VDSL2.

Anyone have any ideas how much VDSL2 speed deteriorates over copper length?

Apparently BT wont accept a FTTC order if the line won't achieve at least 15mbit, but i'd have thought the line from the cabinet would need to be extremely long to not reach that speed.

2x BE Broadband Pro lines
48Mbit down - 5.4Mbit up

Try this for size. http://www.buckconsult.co.uk/fttx/graphvdsl2.png

BT are really underestimating what people can get.

Ignore the graph above.

BT use Profile 8c from this graph - http://www.buckconsult.co.uk/fttx/BT8cProfilesVDSL2.jpg

Not sure of original source, but I'd suggest that looks a reasonable graph.

The Openreach estimates seem to be low, though only seen one actual versus estimate to start pestering Openreach over this.

Sorry I don't know the source either, found it while trawling the web ages ago.

It should be noted that there are several varieties of VDSL2 profiles and BT are using profile 8c which isn't capable of the listed speeds.

Page 5 of this PDF gives a graph specific to this profile.

Ta

Around 32Mbps at 5300 feet, which is around 1.5km (off top of head)

So this is the reason for the 15Mb Min.. HD TV.
Which may well define where/why BT are deploying in certain areas..

i.e. is there a link between BT Vision Customers and the current deployment plans...

Or am I perpetuating a conspiracy theory.. smile

15Mbps HDTV is more down to fitting it onto satellite transponders and getting enough channels so people actually buy HD.

BBC HD is now just about 10Mbps by the way

The lack of contention in the local loop segment will lend itself to a provider having a video cache (e.g. VoD) at the local exchange and people being able to play to their hearts content (well size of wallet)

Thanks for that, i'll bin my graphs and use page 5!

Any ideas why BT are not using other profiles?
