RE: [OT] 2Mbit ADSL



Thanks Harry,



How does unbundling work? I presume that means other telecom companies have
more access to the exchange?

Currently if the ADSL is provided by BT 'wholesale' to the ISP then
the upload speed is the same no matter what the download speed. You
are not expected to run public servers on such a line!

BT are talking about other offerings to be made available at some
point.

The company I work for offer other speeds, even symetric speed
lines, but you must be on one of their 'unbundled' exhanges.  If you
are only now getting BT's ADSL I doubt we would have unbundled the
exchange yet!

Harry.
