Did he specify which year??

No he didn't - good point!

clever guy

But they can only do a no NAT fixed IP with bridge mode

which has already been stated will not be available at launch.. hence my point that it'll mess up a lot of businesses who don't realise this on ordering.

They can do a No NAT without bridge mode too apparently.

Also latest news on availability - September - every month that goes my sees this go back by a month.

Does Business traffic get a higher priority in the local network over residential traffic?

They used to say that you had a better contention ratio but that info was never believed and seems to have vanished from their website

My understanding is that QoS is deployed to favour business circuits. Do Kymmy or Ben agree?

**Kymmy** · 25-07-2011, 11:17

Honestly no idea.. It seemed no faster when I switched from VM to VMB and results were no different.. Only someone with access to the config could probably agree or not..

**Kymmy** · 10-08-2011, 15:59

Sept/Oct was the date I got from someone associated with the project though they did say that they're not privvy to the actual exact release details..

They did say that this would probably be 50 and 100Mb only with the 10/20 being left as existing packages..

I hope though that they realise that the can't leave the 10/20 packages as is especially as they are so out-dated..

ccarmock · 10-08-2011, 16:10

I was told that the 10 / 20 packages will still be available to those that have them today but will be withdrawn and replaced with 30 Mb/s and 50 Mb/s, both with fixed IP address options (single or multiple addresses).

If you go for the calls inclusive option for the phone on the 50 Mb/s they are goign to add mobile calls into the free category (for up to 10 min per call for mobiles and 60 mins for other calls).

As I said though this person was technical and not sales

I'll take the 100mb business service anyday, if it means not having to deal with that crappy CPE they're forcing on the consumer market... And doubly so if it means better contention ratios.

ccarmock · 10-08-2011, 20:55

They don't have a 100Mb/s service in the business lineup yet. The CPE for business is the same hardware as the residential Superhub, but with different firmware

qasdfdsaq · 10-08-2011, 21:21

Well officially there isn't a 50mb yet either, but I guess we'll find out what they release when they release it.

That said I have taken a look at the insides of a superhub, and the base hardware isn't really bad - most of the faults are probably firmware related so different firmware can only make things better...
