Hi Andrew, what ip profile You have ? What speed You have on speedtest.net ?

My stats

Attainable rate (kbit/s) 108296 35112
SNR margin (dB) 26 23.2
Line attenuation (dB) 0 0
Output power (dBmV) 12.8 -3.1

After my FTTC installation at work, we have the following attainable rates according to the openreach modem

Downstream 132728
Upstream 41166

Cable length is about 50 metres according to the openreach engineer.

Sweet - mine is about a similar distance. At least 6 months before they install FTTC though, possibly more.

Vaguely on the subject: will these ultra high attainables ever be actually usable? I know BT are planning a vdsl2 product capped at 80mbit, but is it relatively easy for them to increase that to 120mbit say?

In ye olde days, I remember adsl1 was capped at 8bmit, it simply wouldn't go above a certain frequency limit. Is that the case for vdsl2?

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows.

I dont think we will see them push it as hard as adsl2+ got pushed because of new regulation now where 10% of customers have to be able to get the speed, whilst still soft its a rule which wasnt there before and will exist after april. adsl max didnt fall foul of the 10%, but adsl2+ certianly does. So next spring we should expect to see advertised adsl2+ products chance. FTTC in its current form at 40mbit is fine, I expect 80mbit will be just about fine, but 120mbit may be pushing it too far unless they deliberatly reject customers without good enough lines.

Expect up to 100Mb/s from FTTC.

Thats about what i got in the FTTC Stats thread just as the thread was locked.

I have an 80m'ish cable length http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll111/MrBelter/17...

I wonder what these very short lines will produce when BT gets around to profile 30a. 200mbit seems quite plausible, although how do they market something that only 10% of people can benefit from?

Or is it more than 10% perhaps? I suppose in quite a few cities line length to the cabinet will be very small due to population density (especially those with lots of flats).

What an odd statement ? D-sides can be short or long, and living in a city is no guarantee of a shorter run.

Think about it: if a cabinet serves x hundred people, and those people live in an area of higher population density, then inevitably the cabinet>property length will be shortened.

I can see this is the case in the centre of Edinburgh, which is all old tenements - there are BT cabinets everywhere.

WHere you the same Anon that said " I suppose in quite a few cities line length to the cabinet will be very small due to population density", which has now become "inevitably"?
