Pakz	They are connecting my home to fiber. 55Euro a/m for 500/500 connection. 10 times the speed of what I have now for 45 euro a/m. Interesting.

Pakz	I did not sign for the fiber yet. Only the cables are going to be connected.

Jayenkai	Wowie, 500 both ways! Living the dream!! My upload is the one biggest issue I have. I mean, it's not "an issue" for me, but then I rarely upload anything significantly large. A YouTube trailer taking 10 minutes is .. Meh. Could be quicker. I can live. But if I had the option, then, hell yeah! Gimme the upload!!! > Reveal 🔎 -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I get 60-80 download and 20 upload; this is normal copper wire, about 100 yards from the box, not fibre. Less than £20 p/m via BT.

steve_ancell	Mine is supposed to be Virgin Media 100M Fibre Broadband, there is co-ax cable connecting my router.

Jayenkai	There is for mine, too. Fibre to the green box at the end of the street, then co-ax to the houses. I'm happily getting my 100Mbps. The speed of your network is down to how well your original cable network company did their job, before Virgin/NTL/Telewest/etc bought it all up piece by piece. I think I'm probably in one of the best-laid areas, 'cos my problems have been amazingly minimal. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Here's what I'm actually getting, I take it your's is similar?

Pakz	The competitor is installing new cables also. These in the big cities first. In the next couple of years speeds of 10gb/1gb should be possible. The price of a 1gb service would cost 10 euro a month they say. I might actually be paying less for this than i am now for a slow 50/50 connection. But Imagine downloading with 1000 mb a second!

Jayenkai	Woohoo!!!!! .. of course, the only thing that'll realistically mean, is they'll be able to stream more adverts in Youtube.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Pakz	I was reading about some kind of spatial technique with which they were playing I think it was Eve online with 10.000 players all fighting at the same time. Those kinds of things wil be more possible with faster speeds. Also I had to wait for a day to download eso. I have not updated this game in a long time since the updates take a long time also.
