21CN not all it's planned to be - ISP

It's not really a great surprise but BT's next-generation 21CN broadband network
isn't going to move the UK into the next level of high speed access.
To mirror this fact one of the UK's leading, although
un-named, ISPs have said that it has worries about the national rollout planned
for later this year, both on the technical side and actual implementation. It
claims that BT isn't really sure on what is happening in it's own organisation.
"Technically, we're not seeing a
lot,......We need to know what the technical aspects are to give us a
clear indication of what's going on. BT Wholesale isn't 100% sure what's
happening itself."
"Seeing that 50% of the country's meant to be enabled by the end of
next year, you're going to need a massive change in the next four
months," |

BT say that although only a small number of ISPs have taken part in trials,
any information is available to everyone and it's "was
one of the biggest ever consultation projects" before things started to get
rolling with the recent trails.
The ISP also has doubts on any claimed speed advantages of 21CN although BT
have continued to say that it "is fair" to tout the service as an 'up to
24Mbps' connection it was up to Ofcom to tell it to do different,
"If Ofcom wants to get people together and create an
industry agreement on how to market broadband, we'll welcome it." it said.
"We've had no indication of what speeds will
be [beyond the 24Mb/sec figure],"
"We're all aware of the backlash on 8Mb/sec,.........We've got a lot of
bridges to build after ADSL Max." |
