Dudley is one of the last
Is it a good connection nightdavva, im guessing its only really usable with peer to peer as even a 4 meg connection will saturate 95% of a websites bandwidth.

I've just switched to Toucan £15.99 per month for a 2 meg line and your calls are charged at 1p a minute, I think. We never use the home phone so its neither here nor there for me.

So far so good with the broadband, a genuine 2 meg downstream rate and no software required like AOL and such like.

you guys with 10mb broadband, what speeds do you actually see? As I install braoadband connections every day (Telecom Provider) And our fastest line for the public is 2meg, this is for reliability. Our research shows: 256k travels 8.5k distance, 512k travels 6.5k, 1000k travels 5.5-6k, 2meg 4k, 4000k is the fastest reliable speed you can hold on a telecoms line within 2-4k from an exchange. After that it has to be provided by cable as there are huge DB losses like telecom lines!

Telewest pioneered high speed down copper and i think they are the market leaders......Think they use optic to the local cabs and then copper from the nodes to the consumer.......
Fookin quick tho...

telewest has run its own cable and comes down the same cable as the tv signal, therefore new infrastructure.
i can understand people using bt's old lines getting a max of 8mb or whatever due to the fact of how old the infrastructure is.
telewest are planning on 25mb+ to homes by 2006 on existing cables.

I'm only 1km from my exchange, gives me figures of 21dB down, 5dB up, with SNR of 31dB both ways, on a 2Mbps line......should see me able to support quite a bit faster, when my exchange is properly upgraded!

Oh, the exchange already has been upgraded with a few LLU providers, but I'm waiting for the company I work for to expand to this exchange (which will probably be a while yet, I've not got any details), so that my connection will still fully be under my own control rather than having to rely on the Tech Support of another company and people I don't know...
I'm OK with 2Mbps for now, not doing any massive downloads that I can't just schedule to do while I'm asleep...

It depends where you download from. Anything from Microsoft should see transfer rates bang on 10meg, and real good servers. P2P obviously depends on what you are getting. I was seeing a consistant 328k a sec for approx 3.5 hours on Saturday

spot on mate! you should see a good fast line with more capacity!
am .3k from my exchange, with nte 2000, SNR 31dB both ways, 31db down, fogot my up dB running at 2 meg. The tester shows the line should take 10meg! on a pair of copper! You also have to remember the more users on a cable will pull the SNR down and result in slower speeds, it may sync at 10meg but only run at 6,7,8meg. The amount of customers I have to go to and get them there fastest line drives me mad! haha pulling sockets apart, renewing arial cable, u/g cable just for another couple of db and that few 100kbps faster!
