Our new office has 10mb broadband but TBH it doesnt seem to be any faster than what we had before :confused:

Is 10mb ADSL 2 a new thing or are we just behind the times? When will I be able to get it at home?

I've had 10mb telewest cable for ages

NTL for me 10Mbit, when it works it's very nice & fast.

ADSL wise I'm 'only' on 2Mbit but it always works :roll:

Regarding speed, it does depend a little on how the office network is configured, if you have 10Mbit but you run your main site, email and other stuff like that as well, it will take a fair chunk out. Also it may be throttled down to say 2Mbit per user max, to avoid one user grabbing most of the bandwidth.

NTL have the equipment to supply 100mbit to your home, whereas ADSL requires significant upgrades since a lot of copper cables are too long.

we'll all be on cable one day!

Do you mean it doesn't seem any quicker at viewing websites, or downloading stuff? Don't think you'll notice any quicker website response, unless it is Flash heavy, but downloads should be much quicker... assuming its not limited as suggested above.

Having downloaded some stuff I'd say that it is quicke r- but viewing websites etc. isnt really much difference. But I guess that depends a lot on the other end responding in time etc.

My 10Mb NTL broadband has just tested at 8356Kb/s download and 408Kb/s upload. But I rarely see a figure as high as that first one. :(

We'll probably all be on fibre one day.

Go to adslguide.org and do a speed test, preferably early in the morning before others start using the circuit.

Well website can only give you the page as fast as the website can handle it/browser can render.

cable might well be a maximum of 10Mb but how reliable is it? when we had cable it was shocking tbh. always going wrong and going super slow for no reason.

which is what I meant

"Cable" opperators, using fibre-optics rather than the aging technology that ADSL is :thumbdwn:
