Actually I said to rizla in
another thread only a couple of days ago, that despite this exchange being notorious for contention, right now things seem ok (touch wood).
I also mentioned similar thoughts as what youve had about one of the LLU dslams -
I dunno if you know but the Sky dslam here is full already and cant accept any more new orders. That was hellishly quick to fill up in just 6 few months.. and I wondered if a pile of heavies had gone over there.
The other LLU dslam is TT... and I dunno if you know anyone thats on that? But just ask them what their speeds are like - its appauling! I was round at someone's house on a supposed 8Mb connection (27dB atten) which ran at around 400kbps during peak. Thats http and dont bother trying p2p or any large downloads. Btw he only uses a few GB per month and isnt capped cause of that.
UKO was tempting me the other week if I could have got one of their 22Mbps accounts - but because theyve now restructured and the max speed they are doing is 16Mbps. However I have doubts (1) because of the 12 month tie in (2) Because they are using the sky dslam.
Therefore Im wondering just whats going to happen on that dslam and share the same backhaul.
Do you know anyone here with a sky 16Mb connection that could give it a bit of a "testing"? (The ones I know are are either the free or 8Mb).
