What does this have to do with the necessity of maintaining the status quo of broadband speed advertising?! This very sector must reinvent if to survive.


It doesnt, but you brought it up. The sector merley needs to evolve, not reinvent. Demand for connections are such that its survival is almost guaranteed reguardless of MB/mbit

If building a house I agree, but one wouldn't build a house without having foreknowledge of such things.

Are you seriously expecting all of us to have comparable knowledge of vast projects and their measured understandings in order to simply understand a broadband advert?!

Do you fancy giving up on this and coming down the pub for an two pi radians of clock hand. Maybe we can sink a few twentyfourths of a case of beer!


You're showing your age. tonguewink

Perhaps a flaggon or two after the sun dial is lit upon it's western half?


Has your Gnomon been calibrated to the UK, US or European standard? Does it rotate at a fixed or variable speed?

I hope we are not getting our wires crossed here, I am referring solely to the use of MB as a measurement in advertising to the public and not as a measurement behind the scenes.

This is all about how the average pubic will interpret the speed of which he or she is buying into. At present Mbit is not one they can full understand.

Ah, but before very long there will be no techies... who do we ask then? tongue


tide.

He'll be the authority on everything then. Nothing will require building, maintenance or integration. It will all magically appear and work flawlessly. I used to have similar fantasies about Gaynor Goodman when I was 14. grin

What measurement are appliances and things like kitchen units in then? And how do you find out they will fit? Measure the space in the same unit, of course
