It's OK MrS - I'm done

Lets not jump to conclusions and name calling. Or put it another way - rise to the bait

Nredwood seems to think anyone that disagrees with their wrong opinion must be a range of people they have had issues with in the past. Two of the names mentioned are users on another site entirely.

Point is entirely valid, if 1gig serves 28 exchanges which is what they have suggested elsewhere, then the service is hardly ideal for hardcore gaming. Ping time on a switch which is worked as hard as that would be terrible. Fortunately and rather obviously they are wrong to suggest a singular 1gig serves 28 exchanges and does not comprehend what a switch is.

You are such a nusence --get off the internet.

What is a nusence? Sounds spiritual.

1Gig can serve 200 exchanges - what matters is the number of users and their actual usage.

So your apparent campaign without actual data from customers on that link is just the word of one anonymous person in a see of others where some are actually using the service.

Where were you when Tiscali only used 2Mbps per exchange?

Except the so called 1gig pipe is in the exchange (Barking) their fibre trial is on.
Must have magical powers to serve that and 28 more exchanges ADSL2+ and bonded customers, unless of course you are stating BE cant provide 40Mb to people on the trial or a full ADSL2+ rates to anyone else.
Or are you stating their customer base is so small 1gig is enough?
Good to see you let users insult others, but will not tolerate it when people go a step better though, keep up the good hypocrital work.
PS stop sharing the Be'ings calculator.
LOL

Quite feasible yes

BT IPStream I think is about 1000 customers for a 34Mbps Home Gateway

Based on there being 1269 BE / O2 unbundled exchanges in May 2011 (not many gone live in the last 6 months

625000 / 1269 = 492.51279 as an average number of customers per exchange

Rounded up to 493 average no. of BE / O2 customers per exchange

For 28 exchanges that makes 13804 BE / O2 customers

1Gbps should be adequate then for 13804 customers and I wouldn't be surprised if was more than 1 circuit or 10Gbps these days

It should certainly have been enough in Feb 2008
