I thougth that Fibre optic cable was sensitive to water?
In a previous job they install fibre under the flooring, while the sprinkler guys were installing it they messed up and set of the sprinklers, which resulted in all the cables in the floor being replaced.

Wonders what businesses would say to cheap fibre.
Those 120000 businesses in the UK are paying a grand a month for fibre

Those are impressive upload speeds for a residential service, and no throttling/capping. 50:1 contention ratio too.
Bit on the expensive side, but the fastest speed for residential use in the UK is a fair claim. 
Guess you need something as a reward for living in Sheffield.
Only joking, great place.

It was confirmed today that Fibrecity networks are now planned for Derby, Halton, Nottingham, Plymouth and York, with a target to commence building within the next 12 months.

I have the same loyalty towards VM as they do me, when this is installed i'll be cancelling my BB subscription and moving to i3 Group. i'll keep my TV as On Demand is worth its weight in gold.

Oh they know it works, it's just an uncapped modem and that announcement of 200Mbps trials outside of Ashford was Fibre To The Press Release. It's keeping the thing receiving something close to 200Mbps regularly that's the key.

Re: [Merged] 100Mbps alternative to virgin
What about upload can VM do 100mbps via DOCSIS?

Theoretically it would be 200Mbit up and down but the problem is their infrastructure couldn't cope at present.
According to Ignitionnet's blog they are probably going to go with 10Mbit.

About 100Mbit max with the current hardware, 4 x 27Mbit. Minor issue that this is shared between everyone on those ports.
Expect 100Mbit/10Mbit and, when it comes in 2012, 200Mbit/20Mbit using bonding. Seems a reasonable expectation.

Oh for a ping artist like you fibre will be a dream, 1-2ms pings to default gateway

In theory yes, in practise no, no cable company can reliably offer 100Mbps upstream. The most aggressive ones are around the 15 - 25Mbit mark at the moment. 100Mbps upstream, just shared between an area ignoring reliably delivering that speed to customers, would be potentially more expensive than the original DOCSIS 3 rollout.

As I just posted in another thread for those interested in upstream BT are making a 15Mbps upstream option available on their Fibre To The Cabinet network later this year.

Re: [Merged] 100Mbps alternative to virgin
Thanks Ignitionnet,
Saying that have any ISP's signed up to use i3 Groups network?
1-3ms ping is brilliant for gaming and to upload will help for hosting games. I prepared to pay £50-60pm for 100/100
