Maybe for the last mile from the cabinet. Even when I was living in the middle of nowhere in Somerset, I was able to get Local Loop Unbundled providers (Sky is one of the biggest LLUs, but their stuff is aging [ADSL only], Andrew and Arnold [ADSL+, line bondings etc] which is typically more expensive will go to the effort of installing equipment in your cabinet and exchange to provide you service outside of BT's backhaul).
I wish they would stop pissing around with DSL and just lay in some fibre.
Honestly, I think BT's issues are more to do with the fact that BT openreach doesn't have a greater self autonomy, which lead to certain decisions that benefit BT more-so than everyone.
In fact my ex in Japan had a symmetric 100/100 fibre connection back in 2005, eleven years ago, for less than I pay to get 50/15 VDSL now.
I have friends in Japan that can't even get a landline and have to rely on mobile Internet, so, I would imagine your ex is where I am now, in a sweet spot for Internet connectivity. I don't even pay full price because I negotiate with the sales persons and sign yearly contracts. Symmetric lines though would be really nice, it's why I prefer my BT line (more upload).
NEC offered to install fibre to the home everywhere, but because the government was chummy with BT's management they didn't get it.
I have VDSL2 in my area on BT which is part of the BT Infinity package, which I'm not using right now for obvious reasons, my Virgin Media connection however is FTTP part of Virgin Media's VIVID which does provide 200Mbps, here is my speed test to prove it:
How many times are you going to post that you have 2 internet connections at home?
I have allocated a quota of 13.
Also BT doesn't use PPPoE it uses PPP over ATM like most of the rest of the UK ADSL market.
I'm on VDSL, not ADSL and when you use the BT openreach modem, it provides a PPPoE tunnel for any router you connect to it.
Ash Fox, the guy whose female friend have him a place to live and he couldn't resist wearing her underwear.
I think you're confusing me for someone else, I live with my boyfriend and sometimes we share underwear!
I see you still have the same superior attitude backed up by a complete lack of actual knowledge...
If you were knowledgeable and read my other posts, you would have noted that my speeds are beyond ADSL capabilities and wouldn't have made such a silly response.
I expect downtime, which is precisely why I have two separate Internet connections at home that run on separate infrastructure (BT's Infinity, Virgin Media's VIVID) and if I have to, I could connect my Vodafone 4G dongle, but my router isn't setup for that currently. Honestly, switched over within the first 5 minutes and had no problems the rest of the day.
tried repeatedly to get into BT webmail all morning
I'm shocked you use BT webmail though, it's never had a good track record and doesn't that lock you in as far as ISPs go?
The BT-supplied router, the fornicating clunky useless and slow Home Hub 5, does not allow you to put in your own DNS servers.
If you can get the BT openreach modem, you can put any router that supports PPPoE on it.
A single service like this shouldn't have this kind of power. It illustrates the necessity of having alternate hookups that can *route around the damage*
This is why I have redundancy and backups. This morning I had connectivity issues on my 100Mbps BT line, so I switched to my 200Mbps Virgin Media line and all was well.
It does surprise me how many people that depend largely on the Internet for work don't get a second Internet connection (and do so on separate infrastructure) and then complain when they have down time and how some how they couldn't get 100% uptime all year.
For example, there was a Belgian movie that came out last year called 'Black'. It was pretty successful at the theaters here (in Belgium) and was also heavily subsidized by plenty of governmental audio-visual funds as this was a film directed by promising young Directors and young actors. They sold the rights to the movie to Netflix early on (while it was still in theaters here), except for Belgium where you couldn't watch the movie on Netflix.
I think you're getting ahead of yourself, I'm not in Belgium and I can't find this movie on Netflix.
I have cancelled my Netflix subscription because of the price increase, but more specifically, I rarely use Netflix these days. I'd spend months not watching Netflix, it seemed a little pointless to spend more on something I'm not using.
The price increase just means that I'll subscribe to it when there is something to watch. Seeing now that I won't even check Netflix to find something to watch because I won't have a subscription, that seems unlikely.
The companies I mentioned are considered major companies, something which ARM holdings was never originally considered. Ineos alone does 19,570 million pounds of sales a year. ARM holdings are fairly insignificant in comparison, which are about 967 million pounds of sales a year.
Who own the car factories in the UK?
Don't quote me on this, but I think all the car factories here are mostly owned by General Motors. Land rover and Jaguar however are UK owned I believe.
Only if you combine them - which doesn't make any sense.
Actually, if I combine them, it makes your point. However, I didn't combine them, I looked at the largest geographical areas for Scotland on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-p...
The vast majority of larger counties in reality are closer to 50% than 60%, it's really just the numerous smaller counties that pushed it upwards. That's not really "overwhelming" to me.
It's a single request and response as opposed to ten UDP requests to a server that the resolver performs. So, maybe it isn't. But sure, if you compare/one/ UDP connection to/one/ TCP connection, TCP is doing more work; however we know that modern UDP resolvers don't do just one request any more. Just open Wireshark and check with your PC.
It doesn't fix other DNS numerous security problems
It does prevent spoofing issues, which is where the majority of DNS issues are related to.
No discernible difference was measured wattage wise. Whatever the difference, if there is any, it's too tiny to many any notable difference to the electric bill.

To my knowledge, Land Rover is owned by Jaguar. But honestly, don't quote me on that.

Didn't NEC want more money with their proposal?
If I'm lying, how did I fabricate my speed test?

If you're lucky, you could be in an area where they're trialing VDSL2 (like mine) and it goes up to 120Mbps.

As someone was affected, that's exactly what I have.

MIPS, much like ARM holdings aren't considered a major company in the UK. They aren't really earning enough in millions to be considered as such.

Doesn't matter apparently, I didn't measure any discernable difference. If there is one, it's so small, it wouldn't impact my electric bill. Fact!
On Windows 10, I'm seeing 9.
Which isn't really a problem here, because there is no notable difference in wattage. End of story!

Nah, see above.
Because the British public does not understand what it is, duh.

Not BS, the wattage usage did not increase.
