Yes, it's all interesting stuff, I'm liking what's possible coming in the future with all the new tech mentioned in the previous posts (and learning it all I enjoy!), and what i saw with the multi-coloured 'wavelength spread' over the EMI as 'one per user' - or it's its probably old news and been drawn into gathering the spec we get now instead! The one I was watching was about the tech that may be being used in the undersea cable, that was 100,000Gbps or something like that - it may have been used for that only, but it was a great watch! I can't remember the name. I've seen a ton of videos!
but I feel a bit for Weaver who has to wait Five bloody years for FTTP in his current situation, doesn't he fall under B4RN? - I feel his/hers/their pain, 3 bonded lines for 2.5Mbps! it does make you realise how lucky you/we are, because I'm also single, on my own, so all the bandwidth is mine, and I understand that most of you have families on Wi-Fi (mobiles & IoT) and gaming on LAN, and so when the bandwidth hits the router it is shared amongst them too, so I know some of you on this forum could even have working connections even at fairly average speed brought to a halt!!! I've seen it happen at BOTH my sisters & many others. I fixed one, only to 3-4Mbps ADSL from 256Kbps on Talk Talk by removing the ring wire (a long time ago, and a long cable from the exchange, 5km or over I'm sure). The other sister i sorted by telling her she needs to up her bandwidth from 4Mbps using ADSL and get on Plusnet VDSL 40/10 (which she did and sorted it all).
Yes it makes one think!
