Re: 50Mbit Rollout Has Started

Am I right in saying that 1.5mbit has been confirmed for 50mb?

upload in the "true sense" as you put it, is nothing to do with torrents,ftp etc in this case.

its all to do with having enough upload space and a good extra overhead for the ACK packets to pass unhindered so as to use the download rates as supplyed and payed for... without stalling the connection, and so never a possibility of reaching the top speeds .

its all about the ratio, and 50Mbit to 1.5Mbit ratio is not enough even on paper, never mind the real world overheads of docsis3 ,tcp/ip etc.

Physically impossible.

I've also read those forums...everyone averages 40-46mbit...none are spot on 50.

Again...with that...if you max the download speed out...browsing will turn to crap..and your connection is crippled.

Edit, seeing as you have access to the forum... i imagine you have seen the threads on there about the crap upload speeds/unfair ratio
