456969 2006-05-22 23:43:00 i was reading the herald and it says ISP's will be offering 7Mbps download speeds very soon and ADSL2+ by the end of the year. When will we be getting 7Mbps? lance4k (4644)
456970 2006-05-22 23:49:00 Oh sorry a pig just flew past my window.......... when people are meant to be on either 2 mb or 3.5 mb services and they are not getting anything anywhere near that. I really wouldn't hold your breath for anytime soon, possibly mid next year if you are one of the lucky ones, or a telecon shareholder.

Hopefully I will be back in the scotland soon where i can get back to my 10 mbit UNCAPPED service.

When will we be getting 7Mbps?Did you read your own question, you stated you read an article that says you will have it by the end of the year. :confused: Rob99 (151)

And a lot aren't because the exchanges can't cope.

you must be pretty cold at night sitting at the side of the road next to an exchange with your lapstop hooked up to it. As you seem to be one of the very very few that is getting what they are paying for.

Don't worry about 7Mbps. When will we get the 3.5 Mbps we are supposed to be getting now.

Measured by throughput or by modem line speed? If you are really on a 3.5M plan your modem should be synching at around 4.2M to allow for overheads, then you have the problem of congestion on the link beyond the DSLAM. If your line speed hasn't or can't be lifted, you should pay for a cheaper 2M connection.
