- Opinion survey on future UK BT ADSL wholesale products
- Posted by Phil Thompson on January 2nd, 2005
At http://www.ezquestionnaire.com/surve...t.asp?SID=1525 I have
a small questionnaire about the speeds of products you might like to
see made available by BT Wholesale for ISPs to retail to us end users.
Please drop by and fill it in, will be open to the end of the week.
The objective is to quantify interest in faster upload, see if that is
mor eimportant to users than faster downloads etc.
Will publish results here. Has been running on ADSLguide for a couple
of days, 100 responses so far.

i think you might be overtaken by events this year , when prices start
being slashed for higher speeds .the market will get more cutthroat

I have 2mb from pipex and can say I rarely max the connection out for any
period of time. What does annoy me though is the low 256k upload speed. A
ratio of 8:1 is pathetic. People these days are sharing more. For example,
photographs and hell even home created movies and sending these over a 256k
uplink is tedious.
Also if I upload at any more than 15kb/s sec it will affect my download
speed quite badly.
A 512kb/s uplink would be nice, realistically with BT ADSL products you
can't expect a great deal more than that because of the limitations of line
length and the technology its self. The cable companies have a far greater
advantage. Does anybody know the distance limitations a 512kb/s uplink would
have?

that's always the case but I'm not selling anything just investigating
what people would like to see available.
Yes it's a bit chicken and egg. Product pricing would be targetted to
sell the product I feel.
The "don't know" button is the X in the top right corner :-)

depends on the noise as well as the line loss. Some routers / modems
report % utilisation or link capacity statistics which tells you what
would be possible. I would expect all the 2M users to be able to get
512k upstream.

Are there any cheaply available routers that will regulate traffic, either
via QoS or (better still) via direction, packet type or port number?
Something that buffers everything and automatically promotes Syn and Ack
packets would be nice..
