have you all heard about the 50 meg broadband that is going to be launched? ive read a few bits on various forums but anyone got any more info on this?

alexhodge1234 · 31-12-07, 12:05 PM

Ive heard about it. Ive read that theyve been trialing it in Ashford, Folkestone and Dover in the Kent Areas. And to really piss us off they can get the connection now for £49.99.
But it shouldnt be too long for us, Virgin say that they will be rolling out the service in 2008. I just hope my special modem supports it and doesnt get hit again :\

any1 know what the 50 meg config file is gonna be .. or are they just gonna update the config themselves so u keep on using the bund03.com config file.

I would be nice to know if they have the config file on all their TFTP servers.

u will not be able to have 50mb with the current modems, u will need new modems that people are currently saying it will be near enough impossible to hack them

dont know about the modding but like slacky said its a new modem with twin tuner im lead to believe.

There was talk of putting a DOCSIS 3 modem in the street cabinet, then a new Ethernet cable feed to the house.

wow nice

bongovr6 · 19-01-08, 04:33 PM

yeah 50 meg should be fun but i think i'll stick with my uncapped instead of paying silly prices specially as telewest like this fair use policy, kicks in it 4 an im slowed down by quarter past on my legit modem,

push comes to shove i'll just hook up a few modems
