I see mine is in the list, what exactly should I be able to get using this technology? Currently I see 8meg rock solidly from TT which I would not expect given my distance from the exchange. I have had these speeds now for some 12 month or so. I wonder if it will be worth paying for the boost? I wonder if TT will allow me to try it and see?

Stuart

I missed the bit where it said completed by Autumn 2012  :( OH well still would be interested to know just how much faster I could expect my broadband to go.

All depends on where the cabinets are placed ...........

The one I'm connected to is about 500 yards away.

At least you have some sort of a date. By the time it gets to us it will be obsolete. If it's not already. Sarky head on today.

YeeHaaa !!! (possibly ;) )

Mine is on, and according to other sources it's due by end 2012 :D

....however, we'll have to see what the state of play is when it does get done....choice of ISP, pricing, etc.......
