Apologies if this has been covered before.
We don't have any BT FTTC street cabinets around my area,but what we have are Digital Region FTTC street cabinets.There is only one on our estate and it is about 200 metres
walking distance from my house,yet I have been told the copper cabling from cabinet to house is 861m.
My question is does this sound feasible ? .It seems a long detour to get there.Just to add you can walk from the cabinet in two directions to get to my house and the distances are roughly equal.
I have been told the 861 metres roughly equates to around 20/25 mb downstream and 4/5mb upstream.
There are 3 isp's on the Digital Region project and the only one to do a package less than 40mb is
http://www.origin-broadband.co.uk/ who do 24mb/10mb package for £17.50 a month...this package would probably suit me if those distance estimates are correct..What do you think of the price.
I think if I pushed them I could probably get 3 months at half price.
