BT "Max" ADSL Service

[Stoo]

I'm sat on one of the biggest exchanges in the country with it serving well over 32,000 lines, but there's no LLU here, and nor is there any hint of it in the future

It looks like it's only really easynet and bulldog bothering to cover anything other than the top 5 cities..

Is it worth changing from Easynet LLU to BTMAX? Cos my F2s connection is a pile of poo tbh...

[Stoo]

Well, my Max service has been enabled..

upload speed is doubled, download speed is actually worse than I had on 2mbit...

Hmm, methinks I might be making a call into Zen..

[DR]

Well I want to call Pipex they re-graded me today on to a non static IP address account which er, kinda doesn't work for me at all bare in mind all my mail is sorted via an exchange server

I guess ill just have to wait then but what i dont get is with all this HD Media around the corner etc and then going on about how HD will be sent over the internet streaming into pc's wtc then what are they going to do about caps?

You would have a 50GB cap used in a week. It just doesnt make sense in the long run. I know it costs them alot and it isnt sustainable but something is going to have to change.

And another thing (which there is prob as easy answer too) is why if BT sells the bandwidth to everyone else dont ,they themselves have no caps as they arent buying it from themselves?
