What packages will be available is largely down to the retailer of which Infinity is just a number

Packages have yet to be finalised with us and I guess thats going to be the same with other providers, we have quite a few people on FTTP trials now, and with the exception of installation times taking quite a bit longer the service seems to be running very well.

Ah right.

So wholesale it's enabled up to 110mbit, I take it that the actual maximum speed will be higher? I wonder how VM will respond with the 100mbit upgrades, I think theirs is tested up to approx 300mbit, hope they respond to 110mbit with a higher package smile

I presume you mean "higher than 40Mbps" tongue. Difficult for it to be higher than the wholesale enablement.

I believe BT Retail just supply it as Infinity but with the full 100Mbps. I'm sure there was a post or two about it a few weeks ago, including someone who has it.

I expect BT Retail to just call it Infinity or the catchy 'Infinity and Beyond' with a Toy Story tie in smile

When I said maximum speed, I mean the possible future speed of the technology, BT are selling infinity as 40mbit and made wholesale 110, but can the line handle more, the VM Coax is tested a lot higher than even 100mbit to my understanding, I'm just wondering about future competition between FTTC/FTTP with VM and BT.

The 40meg product is FTTC
110Meg is the FTTP product

VM has bonded some 16 channels to give 1.5Gbps, and the FTTP from Openreach should scale to 1Gbps easily.

10Gbps is still pretty expensive even for data centre use. Many web sites are still hosted on 100Meg links, so going beyond that is pretty much a waste at this time.
