Quote Looking at the upstream on 21CN we have a choice of setting a fixed rate of 448kbps or setting it to “uncapped” which will allow the line to sync at the maximum speed it will support (up to 1Mbps). For the trial we’ve set all the lines to be uncapped and again so far all of the lines have seen increase in upload speed with some of them sync’ing at speeds above 1,000kbps.
Hang on! Some of us are paying extra for Max Premium. Surely to start with you should be capping at 448kbps except for those who have elected to pay for the higher upload speeds where it should be uncapped.

We're merely passing on the charge.

This is because ADSL2+ uses a wider range of frequencies and the boundary between upload and download can be moved more easily.
As far as I know no LLU provider charges extra for this and I guess BT will have to follow.

I have been a customer of PlusNet going way back. Left PlusNet when you moved to the 8Mbit/s service. A disaster and went to Be broadband. I was running ADSL2M there. Once it was setup, actually it was fast and I did get 1.65MB/s downloads. However, Be broadband have a strange and 'illegal' ( ie they don;t follow the Routing RFC) for static addresses and I moved back to PlusNet.
I am impressed with the customer support. The help they initally gave me and setting up static IP's. So really well done. Not had a problem since I joined.
My exchange is 21CN enabled and was one of the early ones. Not that I am cynical or sarcastic but the fact that I can see Ian Livingston's house from my house has NOTHING TO DO with it.....well I don't mind do I.
So yes, please see if you can put me on the trial.

Quote from: HPsauce With LLU ADSL2+ uploads are typically 1.3mbps (optionally 2.5mbps but usually for a fee).
There will be 2 ADSL2+ products on 21CN, the standard ADSL2+ product with a max upstream of 1Mbps and an Annex M variant with upstream of up to 2.5Mbps. At the moment the Annex M isn't available and I don't know what the pricing will look like but it may be like the Max/Max Premium options you have on IPStream and do get priced different by Wholesale.

One of our guys here had a VPN running and that didn't even drop when his connection was upgraded.

'Unable to look data about WBC on 21CN'
Does this mean data isn't currently available or is it code for 'No way, Jose'

The exchange equipment is the MSAN so Huawei and Fujitsu are the suppliers. I don't know if that's the same as Be.

Are we eligible to join the 21CN trial?
Will there be any problem migrating to 21CN when it's made available to all?

I'll try to get hold of Dave to see if LLU customers are included in the initial trial criteria.
