My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.
hairy1: Steve, What will happen to all the "rural" exchanges and plans that those are based on? Will the current plans remain grandfathered or will ISP's be required to offer plans on all exchanges?
For example, Vodafone don't offer naked plan on "rural" exchanges.
hairy1: Cool. Thanks. That table makes things pretty clear. Do the ISP's make public which EUBA package they are offering?
sbiddle:hairy1: Cool. Thanks. That table makes things pretty clear. Do the ISP's make public which EUBA package they are offering?
ISP's only use EUBA0, classed as Basic UBA - it's essentually the regulated UBA product over Ethernet.
EUBA plans with CIR are for those ISP's who want to offer a VoIP offering with guaranteed CIR.

OK. So no-one has taken up the EUBA packages?

deadlyllama: Some very quick numbers, at 6.30pm on a Sunday evening. Tests conducted with one end on TCP port 2098, other on a random port, all zeros (so DPI won't find anything interesting).
Work (on FX) -> home: 1.76 MBytes/s
VPS (Florida) -> home: average 77 KBytes/s (but really variable; conducted over a minute)
VPS (Germany) -> home: average 83 KBytes/s (but really variable; conducted over a minute)
And outbound:
home -> Work (FX): 108 KBytes/s
home -> VPS (Florida): 107 KBytes/s
home -> VPS (Germany): 104 KBytes/s
so downloads heavily contended (or rateshaped)... uploads at line speed. If only line speed wasn't so slow -- roll on UFB...
My excuse for getting unlimited was "free national traffic" so it's nice to see that's fast.
International is really slow though. Now (8.20pm), those TCP sessions are crawling along at 40KBytes/s -- national is still fast.
If there was a "100GB/mo for $90, naked" option available, I'd far rather have that -- the capped naked plan was much faster. But I guess us naked DSL users are a weird bunch to begin with.
