Blueyonder 10MB Broadband - Page 3

GG...

I was thinking what POS could mean in context, but I kept coming back to he 'usual' meaning!

Well, I'm now running at 10Mbit/Sec:

You won't believe what was wrong either...

Behind my cable modem, for the last six years or so, I've had a trusty Netgear RT311 router, solid beast, flawless, zero maintenance. Anyway, it turns out this (years old router) can only handle a thruput of around 5mbit/sec on the LAN<>WAN crossover!?

Go figure

So, one shiny Linksys router later and Bob is indeed my (10mb) uncle!

Thanks for all your help in solving this little mystery

As with yourself Rich that would have been the last thing I would have looked at, glad to hear you are sorted.

And near identical speeds

Job's a good'un!

Blueyonder are trialling 80MB in an area I am not at liberty to mention, info straight from the horses mouth, seems I am recently aquainted with a senior engineer, and rather attractive she is too.

Who's laying the fibre cable to run that??

And who could afford 80mb on residential

No idea, that wasn't part of the conversation, my mind was on other matters.

It's in it's infancy at the mo', never know it may become the standard at some time.
Next time we meet I up I shall pump her for some more info. In the nicest possible way. She will be out of the country for the next few weeks so will have to wait a while.

No probs, always interested in things like this

No doubt we're only 5 years away from 100mbit being the standard and probably only 10 years away from the entire country being on gigabit.

I hope
