      Likely all of it as it is a no-cost change at the wholesale end, but of course it’s an excuse to reshuffle the pricing brackets and adjust CVC to cut costs and increase profits.

      It looks like the current top 1000/50 tier might get a bump up to 1000/100 though.

        It looks like the current top 1000/50 tier might get a bump up to 1000/100 though.

        My understanding is that the gigabit tier is only available over FTTP… So why aren’t the speeds symmetric? Practically every other country that has gigabit fibre has symmetric speeds. With more and more people storing data “in the cloud”, upload speeds are more important than ever.

        I live in the USA now and even the lowest speed tiers with ISPs offering fibre (300Mbps in my area) are symmetric.

        I’m on 1000/50 and while a bump to 100 upload would be nice, they really need to bump it up more. 250 minimum. Or something like 500/500 would be nice.

      Yeah but can you imagine how much less efficient it would be without those profit driven businesses involved?
