Is there a way to put ADSLmax on ignore on these forums?

In reply to a post by adslmax:

no chance. 80/20 is to stay with us for the next 3 years until 2018 then BT only uplift to 100Mb from 80Mb.

BT is far behind than rest of superfast fibre!

Given the Superfast Cymru contract requires BT to produce 100Mb next year I'm going to take a wild guess that you're wrong.

Surprised one of your numerous extremely high level contacts within BT couldn't fill you in.

Won't be an 'uplift' either - separate new product. Openreach can't simply increase speeds as Virgin Media do.

Cheeky sod!

The only issue I can see is that digital region had to replace some line cards at the CAB as the current ones only supported 70-80meg.

Most (If not all) of the Line Cards installed on Openreach cabinets are Profile 17a which are (Per specification) capable of Up to 100Mbps downstream.

A Cisco document I looked at a few days ago for a VDSL2 WAN Interface mentioned a combined data rate of 17a to be 150Mbps; which I'm assuming is 100Mbps down and 50Mbps up.

So I'm guessing BTw could raise it to that if they wanted too, but I'd like to think they are looking more into Vectoring first...

those speeds realistically need vectoring to be marketable.

I think post vectoring we will either see 100 or 120mbit services. I would be surprised if was no change, as BT will want something back for their investment, no matter how small it is.

Personally I would be happy with 80mbit alongside a decent snrm which would be the case if vectoring was enabled for me, I dont see a jump from 80 to 100 been significant.

surprised then why they don't release a max package to allow people to connect at whatever there currently syncing at. On my router its showing a max rate of 98 meg so if the line cards are capable why not just alter the profile to let people make use of whats there.

My guess would be that they aren't offering a max service at the moment (while vectoring's not implemented at least) because it would likely increase crosstalk (more bitloading used up on all 'max' lines, and as such I imagine the power output would be around 13.0dBm or higher on the downstream - again for crosstalk). When vectoring is rolled out, perhaps in the future such service might be offered.

As I understand it, vectoring capable hardware is being rolled out into DSLAM's at the moment, so at some point in 2015 we might well see vectoring or at least an official announcement from Openreach prior to the activation of vectoring.
