50MB BB Trial

[willas00]

I've seen VM are now rolling out 50MB BB as found on http://www.broadbandwatchdog.co.uk/news/180907-195

And Info found from http://www.vmpilot.net/

But my question is does any one know if/when it will be rolled out into Gloucestershire (Cotswold Reigion)

Don't get your hopes up mate, they (NTL/VM) have been trialling 50Mb broadband for roughtly nearly a year now, there are only trials going on in designated area's at present.

Anyway, why would you want 50Mb? 20Mb is probematic enough, and so was the 10Mb before that, so 50Mb will be total crap (IMHO)

This thread has been discussing it.

sorry to say guys im on the trial, have been for a month or so without a single problem.
i was also on 20 meg and was spending (before they introduced the charges lol) at least 45 minutes every night on the phone as it was appauling, usual problems as in 1001 posts about it on here.

thing that would concern me is if they roll it out it would it have exactly the same problems as the 20 meg?

Yes but if they give us a 50MB speed then we might actually got 20MB :D
