Ever heard of load-spreading? And queuing theory?

In reply to a post by adslmax:

I find it so strange because when my parents was on FTTC 40/20 (BT IP Profile set at 74.22Mb but PN IP Profile set at 40Mb and they getting better throughput speed of 38.5Mb) and now my parents was on FTTC 80/20 (BT IP Profile set at 77.35Mb but PN IP Profile set at 77.2Mb) and they only getting throughput speed of 73.7Mb.

That's because the effective cap on Plusnet 40/20 is the 40Mbps Plusnet Current line speed and IP Profile is wayyyyy higher and irrelevant. In other words, on PN 40/20 40Mbps should be achievable.

On the 80/20 the IP Profile kicks in and then the CLS just below it.

ISPs...and I am unable to say which ones, but those taking part in the trials.

What I mean is, is it an Openreach product?

It's an Openreach trial in Huntingdon of a 1000/100Mbps FoD product along side the 330/50Mbps G.Fast trial.

ISPs will be taking part directly with Openreach (LLU) and through BT Wholesale (WBMC/WBC).

Thanks for that. I see ISPReview have more details http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2015/08/isp-zen...

990 Mbps is impossible since Gig Ethernet has a max TCP/IP throughput of 943 Mbps

Not run it as news as we covered the original product news so waiting for more concrete stuff and Gig from Openreach will upset too many people.

Indeed.

ISP Review clearly don't have access to first hand information as they've reported some things incorrectly (to be clear, FoD will only be available to 43 postcodes in Huntingdon/Gosforth will not have FoD).

I understand there will be media involvement in the next few weeks anyway.

Plan is to drag myself up with camera like we've done before to see what is different with the new FoD
