I'm gutted

[dbgtz]

I'm literally a couple of hundred metres away from an area which is getting fibre optic, how annoying is that and now those who do not have it are gonna get a slower internet, how frustrating is that srsly. My school was on like 15mb before the cables and they don't really need an upgrade.

That's a bugger. It'll be a few years before my area gets it, and I damn well need it!

aw sucks ;(

[Technologic]

My streets been cabled since the nynex era (Y) Jealous much? Might be going up from 20mb to 50mb soon

[Alkaz]

Atleast its now only 100m your connection has to travel through copper cable.

I'm connected to a different server thing if you know what I mean? The big box thingy

[Johno]

My area is unlikely to ever get cable whilst I live here :( I reckon what you are speaking about is the exchange? :P

[dirrty]

samee, my area is so ****. a few hundred metres away can get fibre optic aswell, but i'm stuck with crap 2MB max broadband paying for up to 20MB :l

[Jahova]

ADSL 2+ or somthing is being installed at my exchange soon. Don't know what it is though.

[dbgtz]

Oh well, it's still 1 step closer.

[HotelUser]

The bottleneck here is 14mbs.

Ah well, at least you've got it close to you :) Something is telling me you maybe able to petition to have a line put down your street, seeing as you've got glass fibre nearby. If enough people agree, you should be able to get it (assuming it works along the same lines as gas and oil, where you only get it if you petition to have it installed because it's nearby).

Im assuming my village/town will be getting it in 1-2 years seeing as were having all major improvements around the place, itd be silly not to have it

[Black_Apalachi]

Dunno if it's the same thing, but we were going to get Ntl or Virgin or something once (basically cable TV) but apparently it's not available where we live - even though various houses around us in different directions already have it :S
