Not fastest enough! Mine is 128/12

Yet you were so desperate for a service like mine that isn't fastest enough you repeatedly wrote to Openreach's CEO and over the course of two threads and the best part of a year obsessed over when you'd be able to get it. Though I have no doubt you'll order it anyway at some point. Welfare reform clearly fails even more emphatically when there are people struggling as they are while you can afford two super-fast connections.

I'll do this in a few points to save confusion:

1) This thread references crosstalk and its effects on connections, not a speed competition either between individual VDSL lines or Virgin cable.

2) As mentioned I'm getting a second line installed early next week and bonding them together to deliver about 150Mb down, 38Mb up, so even on that rather pathetic measure I'll win, and even when VM upgrade your service later in the year I'll still win due to having triple the upload and maybe 4-5% lower download.

3) Please kindly keep your thoughts to your own close social circle. If you don't have a social circle I heartily recommend getting one. If you put half as much energy into that and obsess about it half as much as you do broadband access you'll be the life and soul of the party, rather than the standing joke.

Ta.

VDSL cannot do bonding together.

Nothing to stop the ISP doing bonding at the PPP level. I'm sure AAISP can offer this (for a incredible price though).

I believe there are a handful of ISP's that do offer 2 and 3 way bonded VDSL2 connections for business users.

ADSLmax please stop spamming the threads with pointless, stupid and misinformed posts! We are all totally sick of your posts!

I've posted links below showing the first 499 days attainable and sync on my connection. I was the first on the cabinet, and things seem to have fluctuated up and down over time, although never reaching the 55Mbps attainable I had in the first month. I've also added the interleaving graph as that pushes up the attainable speeds when interleaving is applied.

Sync speeds first 499 days
Attainable speeds first 499 days
Interleaving first 499 days

Oh, it would be so much simpler if we could attach pictures.

Pair bonding is part of the standard. An ISP could use multi link PPP. I could also run a point to point VPN from my router to a data centre or simply use per-flow load balancing which, while not proper bonding, would work well for applications that use multiple connections and deliver bandwidth efficiently to the household.

Still why let facts stop you?

Not that it matters that much of course. Hyperoptic and B4RN, amongst others, still deliver way more.

Good luck with your massive jitter and mostly poor service from VM. Why are you not banned yet with posting crud and trolling?

Any news on how the vectoring trial is going?

I probably have the longest line on my cabinet but not many lines running this way most go in other directions.

I was first on the cabinet and from day1 got the full 40Mb sync. At that time it was impossible to unlock the modem. When I finally unlocked the modem the figures from memory of max attainable were around 60Mbps. And moved up and down just a little.


When I upgraded to 80/20 my speeds were in te mid 50s but varied quite a bit and had an upstream of 9 Mbps with an attainable of 24 or more. After several visits the problem was resolved but I moved to an ECI mpdem (on a Huawei Cabinet). My speeds increased to around 58 Mbps in March '13. They actually increased slightly to give 59.5/60.5 over the next few months and have recently dropped back to about 59.0/59.5 ...

So, as more users have filed the cabinet I have not seen a significant change in my speeds which would suggest that I am not suffering from increased cross talk.
