That's about it really, that and annual results for year 2004 here (http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/irol/76/76808/presentations/2004presentation.pdf)

Also the upgrade from 256k to 512k. Might be a good idea for a mod to make a news item to let all customers on 256k know about the upgrade.

How would one carry 10mbit over their current architecture? Would it just be EuroDOCSIS with a higher qam?

They don't use EuroDOCSIS at the moment - just DOCSIS. They use a 6MHz 64QAM carrier - 30Mbs

Thats what i mean, am i missing something or isn't that shared between more than a handful of people?

Some places they use a 256QAM carrier, 38Mbps after the esoteric overheads, some places still 64QAM, 27Mbps after the overheads.

On average you're probably talking around the thousand mark.

Surely youd never get full speed then? So a bit of a false economy

Certainly not impossible to get full speed. A lot depends on the usage patterns of the people you are sharing with though.

i dont think telewest are stupid enough to go ahead and announce a trial without thinking about upgrading current infastructure, after all it will only be a trial.....for now.

They may want to consider fixing the infrastructure issues first:

Am sure they will do with all due haste!

Yep just as 'a bit' of the traceroute got through to the end, 2 bits didn't :D

Seems someone at BY has noticed this and traffic has been rerouted around the issue, or if core network congestion it's not present at 5:30am.

Nasty loss on the last hop there but could just be a symptom of the router being used :)

i too am on telewest and although a 10mbps connection would be good, they do need to sort out there current network.

I live in newcastle and nearly every thursday, friday, saturday and sunday evening my ping goes up from 25 to 200 and odd
