In reply to a post by PaulKirby:

We are going with the full 330/30 due all 5 of us here all use the internet, whether its downloading a 50GB game, updates to several Windows, Mac or Linux boxes along with uploading media content online, watching Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sky On demand etc, our current 5Mbps just cannot cut it LOL.

I expect the 330 is an up to speed. I wonder what speed you will actually get. FTTP does not have the distance and cross talk problems of DSL but there is still contention and the way the back haul equipment is configured.

Simply because leisure and entertainment are not the only uses of the internet. I use 50/50, leisure/work.

For leisure my old ADSL at near full synch speed was fine. For home working that involves moving big files ( >15Gb) my full synch speed Infinity 2 is a vital tool. ADSL was a bottleneck in my work flow that resulted in not being able to offer fast delivery times.. equals not competitive.

In order to stay up with with "big city" competitors I would like even faster upload, but I'm not going to get it without a very costly leased line or bonding things.

So if you are a web developer, moving image creative, IT consultant or in one of a hundred other such home-working niches you will always want "faster" . 8)
