At this site Openreach will offer all of its products on a wholesale basis to all UK CPs. From August 2008, CPs at Ebbsfleet will be able to support data at speeds of up to 100Mb, the fastest headline speed available to residential customers in the UK, allowing high-definition television (HDTV) channels to be watched simultaneously and enabling HDTV gaming and near-instant music downloads. (from BT's results today) Go on Virgin, with your "fibre" network, why not deliver real fibre speeds like 100Mbps or even 1000Mbps per home? And, why not deliver those speeds without your current evening volume limits that drop speeds in half if your customers use the service a little too much during one evening? |
