sbiddle:
I actually think the price is way too low for the service.
AidanS:
As uptake increases and if users on this 1Gbit service do take advantage of their larger speeds then the price will likely go up.
chevrolux: Contention is going to be bad enough with a bunch of people with Gigabit plans running off the same port. Why clutter the upstream too? Giving customers 500Mbps Upload speeds will be terrible. Seedboxes will stop being hosted in Germany and start popping up here running off residential UFB connections.
If you need more than 20Mbps at home you are either running business services from a residential connection or you are a horrid torrenter clogging things up for your neighbours.
ripdog:TimA: You can't max your line speed, Due to the TCP overhead on the upstream will be like 60Mb/s
Er, what? They are only providing 20Mb/s. And you would easily be able to max that to a local server. And if you're talking about the 500Mb/s possibility, then you'd be able to use a lot more then 60Mb/s... probably not 500 to a single server, no, but it's all about capacity. More people doing more things at once, etc...

When you stream data there has to be a check sent back to where it came from to sya it arrived. So there is roughly a 94% efficiency. If you do the math you will realise that there is about 50Mb/s upstream requirement to max the line.
Ripdog plz.

raytaylor: I cant remember the exact number, but remember that these gigabit plans only have a CIR of something like 10mbits.
Seeing that primo have been able to do speedtests and see 900mbits down I am thinking the 20mbit upload must not be slowing it to the same degree that we used to have with the 128 upload slowing down the FS ADSL

Oh, you were talking about the entire OLT. And yes, I know how TCP works.
The thing is, if you refuse to oversubscribe, the vast majority of the capacity of the line will go unused 99% of the time. Raising the per-customer limit to 500mbit each will allow everyone to burst to much higher speeds and make use of idle bandwidth, but (presumably) will still at least allow everyone 50mbit to use at times of peak load. As long as people realise they aren't getting guaranteed speeds, this is a much better system. Also assuming the ISP has the backhaul.
Nothing wrong with pushing the limits a bit.
eXDee: I'm sure FullFlavourMedia got to the gigabit plan before these guys did.
eXDee: I heard the 20 megabit upstream was also to stop it being as appealing to business customers. I agree its too low though.

FiShYmAn: Yes Id agree but also disagree with Full Flavour, we likely both 'launched/stated providing/connected' customers at the same time, but its only just been taken notice of because of our new website launch, we were both tweeting our speedtests and results at the same time and we both provisioned our first clients as soon as UFF made the plans available.
