it's not true. Only the ones who haven't had hip replacements have zimmers.

My mum's had a hip replacement... anyway Parts of Bournemouth are full of people in their twilight years, but most of the population is made up by large families and students in general. You are likely to find all, or most of the old people centralised in Westbourne. So there.

The 100Mbit figure probably comes from Ebbsfleet and Highams Park FTTH (I think)

That's what I thought in fact I meant it as a rhetorical question.

I have merged the 2 threads on 100MBit for Bournemouth as they are basically talking about the same thing

Velocity1 has updated it's webpage with pricing for the Bournemouth Service, little astrix asys excludes £10 a month line rental, still pretty good pricing if you ask me, total cost of £20 month for 100meg line or £40 per month for calls, 100meg and fairly full TV package.

Could not see the UPLOAD speed listed as i expect the bundle option won't be 100/100..

This is intriguing in the FUP.
"Customers affected by the fair usage policy will share bandwidth with each other and will be separated from other customers. The amount of bandwidth available for affected customers to share, will be at least as much as for those customers unaffected by the policy."

How would they do that?

There are several ways but it's essentially a bad boy pipe where all the heavy users can congest one another instead of causing performance issues for others.

These guys will be buying connectivity onto the FTTH network by the gigabit, take the top 5% of customers and give them 5% of the total bandwidth through QoS / Traffic Management, the other 95% are happier, that 5% upset as the usual contention ratio doesn't work for them.

Here's the first use of it that I'm aware of.

So would this be a VLan type scenario?

As oer several ways

If the peeps are using PPP to log in so terminating on a BRAS could pop them all into their own IP range and rate limit that range by IP, if using DHCP and straight Ethernet could isolate them in their own VLAN, if using any of the above and in possession of a DPI appliance could use that instead.
