OK.
Then the 4:1 ratio mentioned in the more recent documentation for FTTC kicks arse, and it's a better ratio than the FTTP for upstream to downstream.
I'm very aware of the wideness or otherwise of the FTTP deployment and have posted and written about it in several different places. I'm not bigging up BT at all I'm merely pointing out that BT's new stuff kicks VM's backside for upstream to downstream symmetry.
We can discuss it some more once VM pull their finger out and start producing these 10Mbit upstream trials 'en masse'. One thing I always hate about VM the way they willy wave about what they are trialling and doing and say about how they are doing tier upgrades that are several months away. No other <bleep> cableco I know of does that they do their trials in quiet generally and announce tier upgrades after they've finished them or just before they do. Only big rollouts get announced such as DOCSIS 3 deployments, not tier uplifts and trials of new tiers.
