Do you think it will be fast enough for you?

Please don't rattle his cage ...

This could be a trench up Max's drive.

Which I guess could involve excess construction costs needing to be paid in some circumstances?

"'some' TBB experts are now telling us we don't need the Superfast broadband we are using"

Can you clarify what you mean by this?

Do you mean tbb staff and thus its an official position, or are you saying visitors to tbb?

Pass.

I'm relaying what I was told by a CP with regards to Cablelinks I haven't looked into them with a great amount of detail. I'm aware that L2S and OLT at least can be the same chassis.

Regardless, excluding the 2k per L2S/OLT is a nice saving but doesn't change the tiny addressable customer base. Really not worth the while of most, and hence most don't bother with it.

Sorry Mr S i should have made myself a bit clearer ..It was not any TBB staff members. But more than One guest member on this forum are of the opinion that superfast broadband is not required.20Mb is enough for a family size home to operate without contention issues ..

Whilst your post is probable sarcasm about a post by someone in a different forum on a previous day, it's getting a bit boring and therefore irritating as IIRC it's the third time and helps nobody.

Even if taken literally, in this case it would be completely silly in view of the ADSL2+ estimate posted by the OP for the premises.

Roberto. Firstly it was not a different forum it was TBB. it was a different thread that the comments were made in.It was not a post by ONE person either.More than one user on this forum are of that opinion and agreed that superfast broadband is not required.



When i then asked the question : well why are the likes of BT and VM spending 10's of £millions on upgrading networks and providing fast broadband when it is not required ? the answer came back as willy waving by VM and BT are upgrading outdated ADSL networks that have degraded.

Eh actually i'm not lol it was in regards to a post made by another user ..But hey don't give up just quite yet.You're 15 min of fame might just be around the corner




Edit: Quote 'Average family is still 2.2. Let's say 4 for sake of argument.

20mbps / 4 = about 5mbps / person.

More than enough.

How much does anyone need as opposed to like?'

i thought that comment was quite sweet lol

This is from a different user and still not got to your comment yet lee


'It is true that most family homes find 20Mb/sec fast enough. And you'd be rather untypical to "need" fast internet all the time - if ever!
