I'll start showing interest when they start rolling it out rather than just pushing random numbers at modems in trial areas. They've trialled far higher than this

I know that but on a 20Mb connection 4Mb upload is nice, better than 1Mb which I heard was the actual upgraded speed once rolled out.

Just urinating in the wind for test purposes. With the current stuff they are trialling there's no way on God's Green Earth they would even dream of trying to upgrade 20M to 4M up.

I can totally understand why this was kept secret. That way the situation can be monitored under normal usage conditions. Nobody is going to call tech support saying there internet connection is too fast.

Re: I'm on XL [20mb] & getting 2mb UP?
i would imagine the percentage of normal users who actual know or understand the speed of their upstream connection is so minute that these trials will go un-noticed by most everyday customers. You have to look very far into the small print to even see the upstream values to the different tiers in the product descriptions. Telling people they were part of an "upstream uplift trial" would confuse most people.
Bring on the upstream increases though, i sure as hell could use it !

Re: I'm on XL [20mb] & getting 2mb UP?
Doesnt that slightly defeat the point though? I mean I uh hurm... torrent a little but based my upload on what I "thought" it was.... Now I know I have more up potential I have changed things.... Point is that the VM of normal users will not use more up speed so having it there has made no difference. Other than backend tests I can't really see what this has given VM as there will have been little if no increase in upstream data at all - so what was the point????

I was agreeing with you Impz.... on 2nd read that wasn't really apparent... appologies lol

What makes you say that? 20 down 4 up seems pretty fair for the price paid.

The channels they are trialling this stuff on can only manage about 18Mbit, and about 13Mbit before they start showing jitter. Not going to get many 10Mbps up 50Mbps customers and 4Mbps up 20Mbps customers out of each one of those without some quite hardcore protocol shaping or other limiting.
Purely my opinion the prices we pay are bugger all btw, similar tiers in the USA, with similar upload speeds to those mentioned above, are double the cost or more.
20/4 is fine so long as they charge a reasonable increment on top of the standard price. Perhaps raising 20M to 20/2 with 20/4 as an extra cost option would be good.
In any event I doubt it'll happen, they are just I think trying different ratios out - they tried 10:1 and now 5:1.
