STM just when you feel like it eh!?

What's wrong with that?

The evening STM on 100Mbps shouldn't kick in until 10 GB has been downloaded during the period.

It could be behaving like mine does on 10Mbps. I can hammer the guts out of it in the day (well as much hammering as 10Mbps can give it - several 10's of GB when the STM limit is about 3GB) and never get the STM applied but if I do so then come the evening slot it only takes a little bit of download and the STM kicks in. Why? No idea. Do I care no - my minimum sentence has been served and Infinity is coming my way soon. At least I hope it is.

When I was on 50Mbps and the speeds were poor and all over the place I stabilised mine and saved money too - I downgraded to 10Mbps.

When I ask to do that I am told it's cheaper for me to stay on 100 then to go to 60

Im going to pay it off. I know it will be £180 but that's fine. My SDSL goes in on Monday so I may only have 2mbps but it will be all mine and I can finally break the chains on STM/Sharing a network!

SDSL will still be a contended product so congestion free is not a defenite. Whos your new isp?

Probably somebody on a 100Mbps cable connection flogging it on to 50 punters at £99 a pop

As you surely know most stuff on VM is busted so they probably just got lucky...

It's 1:1 and it's Spitfire.

Back in the Dialup Days I used to rent a port for £99 a month which gave me 1:1 56k 24/7 connection,. I'd imagine as this runs off an ADSL line £99 a month is more than enough to give someone 2MB 1:1?

the price seems too low for 1:1 but I guess the market has changed.

AAISP charge £105 per month for uncontended 2mbps fibre (plus costs of fibre itself) and £255 per month for uncontended 10mbps, so the price seems reasonable.

A 1000mbps dedicated circuit is £13940 p/m putting the cost of 1mbps at about £13.94 or less for a medium to large scale ISP.

heavily location dependent tho.

try getting gigabit 1:1 to your house for 14k a month.

Tiscali no longer exists

BT WBC costs more per Mbps of backhaul than any of the LLU networks (£60 to 70 per Mbps to get it from exchange to a handover node - figures are indicative have not checked them)

If anything mentions Tiscali then they mean Opal as in the wholesale arm of the talktalk group

Those are the prices they quoted for my home postcode. Virgin Media also do a comparable service for far less money.

But that's not really relevant, I was trying to get an idea of wholesale bandwidth prices - and those levels suggest uncontended 2mbps SDSL is quite possible at £99 a month, when the ISP can obtain bandwidth at less than £25 per megabit to the exchange and then just has to rent the copper LLU line from Openreach for the region of £10 a month.

Why do you need SDSL?

umad

English please. This is a discussion forum.

Your post doesn't make sense.

yeah I agree on the sdsl, I was comparing really to what a 2mbit leased line would cost.

I did get a quote to my house incidently not so long ago tho and I got quoted 26k a month for a 1:1 100mbit line. Or 9k for a 5:1 line. Along with a 5 figure install fee.

Dodgy stuff, probably!

Please, not the "I've got a life" again. Obviously YOU haven't as you are glued to your monitor for at least 26 hours a day.

I don't give a stuff what you download/upload but when you previously moaned about not being able to max out your connection you didn't seem to understand why.

Now that you're on the equivalent of a leased line you won't affect anyone else.

Enough said! So back to your cot.
