| 452060 | 2006-05-04 10:25:00 | How many threads do we need about this? The UBS network is OVERSUBSCRIBED. Performance WILL vary. There isn't ANYTHING you can do about it, and there is very little your ISP can do about it, and even less the people here can do about it. Flogging a very very dead horse. |

The equipment in a lot of exchanges can't handle everyone being on 3.5 or whatever. that exactly what i think will be the case. with unbundling it will certainly show up how good/bad telecoms network is, and i suspect it will be bad. it certainly explains why they have drip fed the speeds over the years while they have slowly upgraded the system to cope with the huge amount of traffic the faster speeds generate. |
