According to ISPReview
local loop ISP 'Be' are planning to increase trials, ongoing since the end of
last year, to increase users upload speeds.
As part of it's ADSL2+ Annex M trial, users can expect a maximum theoretical
upload speed of 2.5Mbps, and trials so far have produced an average of 1.9Mbps.
Be plans to announce an upgrade of it's Office product once the trials are
complete which will allow 22/2.5Mbps speeds without any extra cost, as Be
points out this is a quarter of the price of a standard 2Mbps SDSL connection,
with 10 times the download speed.
| "We are very excited about bringing another first to the UK
market. It is very satisfying to offer a new technology with
practical benefits at an unbeatable price level. This attitude
defines what Be is about, and we will continue to challenge current
norms," |
| Dana Pressman, Managing Director Be |
The downside is that as with all ADSL connections the quality of the line
greatly affects the actual speeds users can expect.
