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?

AciidSn3ak3r · 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 **** 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.

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
