| 545268 | 2007-04-30 01:29:00 | I got a letter from telecom saying that my line is too slow to handle high over 2.2mbps. Telecom said this, but what does your modem say the line speed is ? |

| 545269 | 2007-04-30 01:54:00 | There is the "contention ratio" factor as well. Last time I checked them out (a few months ago) from what info I could get from them, telecom's xtra was around 90:1 (Go Large) At the time, iHugs was (suposedly) about 17:1 The majority of broadband services offer a 50:1 bandwidth contention ratio - which means that you are sharing your bandwidth with 49 other people. |

| 545272 | 2007-04-30 05:35:00 | Sounds reasonable . :D Those who use least subsidize those who use most . If you want huge bandwidth, you should be prepared to pay for it . Data bits cost money . An ISP has to estimate the bandwidth it needs to buy (and it pays for it, whether it's used or not) 24 hours a day, allowing for those who use meail and a small amount of web browsing, and then manage to get customers with a "competitive" user charging plan . As long as people want cheap bandwidth, you'll have 150:1 contention ratios and slow bandwidth . If anyone thinks that "unbundling" will produce faster connections from the exchanges because the "competitive market" will provide all good things . . . good luck . :D It has failed disastrously in the electricity field . It will fail in the telecommunications field . |

| 545275 | 2007-04-30 06:09:00 | Only along one radius. :D Considering a typical grid street layout, it starts to get complicated. The "distance" is cable distance, too ... including the distance from the cable (which follows the streets) to the user's connection point. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 545276 | 2007-04-30 06:29:00 | I think the ultimate answer is that we need a combination of fibre to the Node and or fibre to the cell phone tower to give us a proper BB experience similar to other developed countries around the world, which in essence mean that the likes of Telecom needs to invest 1-2 Billion bucks in the network (as well as networking hardware) that has been looong over due. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
