I don’t want averages. I know, from observation of its behaviour, that my line is capable of 28/8.
With the ASA/Ofcom conformant gibberish that ISPs must reiterate, Zen are only allowed to quote 35/6. It is impossible for me to know, from that description, whether I will still be able to achieve the 8Mbps upload of which my line is capable.
One more comment on the ASA fibre debate. VDSL is a purely copper technology. It does not require Fibre, and does equate to FTTC. Which leads me to a Question...
...in those other countries where FTTC is implemented and, it seems, they are not allowed to use the word “Fibre” to describe it, what alternative terms do they use to encourage consumer understanding and uptake, and to differentiate it from “all copper”?
