80Mb/s FTTC

Well, it is impressive what you can do on a short bit of copper :-)

We have a number of customers on the FTTC 80Mb/s trial now. One has 79.7Mb/s and another has 57Mb/s. This is pretty impressive. The uplink is around 20Mb/s as well...

Seems the trial is not going badly - the lines are syncing up at nice high rates, and the rates are correctly coming through to us.

Seems a few minor teething troubles getting the profiles right in the middle somewhere - but this is a technical trial, so not at all surprising.

Fun...

  1. Well back in 2005 I was party to a demonstration from Ericsson of a VDSL2+ implementation that they were running over a longish (350-450m) local loop recovered from a Rikstelefon/Televerket era duct in Stockholm - installed in the late 1940s/early 1950s at the latest - they were easily getting 120Mb/sec down it (until I unplugged it). At the same time I was waiting at home for an upgrade to 8Mbit... impatiently waiting for ADSL2+ now (sigh) because there's more chance of spotting Shergar in the High Street than anything faster arriving here before 2050

Fencing

Bit of fun... We usually put up some Christmas lights on the house - some fairy lights on the metal fencing at the front, but a pain as mean...
