as far as I know the 200mb may use bonding of 2 or more channels but mainly it works by using a different type of modulation to what is being used at the moment hence it is only being trialled in certain areas as I imagine it will require new CMTS's

yeah, i can get 43-44mbit a sec with a 250 and 255 to this day.

on this forum somewhere is a speedtest result of mine on a modded 255 which shows 43up and just short of 3up.

i have a dual wan router too.

dont get me wrong, i never use it, i only tested it :P

I pay for my broadband :P
