BTs Home 1Mbps & Extended ADSL
Posted: 09th Jul, 2003 By: MarkJ
ADSLGuide reports that BT is preparing to announce a new Home 1000 (1Mbps) broadband ADSL product, yet has dropped plans for a slower 256Kbps option. Final details for BTs 'Extended Reach' ADSL Pilot have also been issued to ISPs:
The main highlight is that each service provider taking part will be able to submit up to 100 manual orders on lines that are currently considered RED (i.e. outside limits). For people who have not ordered ADSL before then it is a case of the ISP placing a normal order, and BT Wholesale will simply use the new limits on AMBER orders.
This means that the pilot places should be available for people who really are between the 55dB and 60dB line loss test values. By using the new limits for all the new orders it is believed that around an extra 400 lines a week will be passed for ADSL.
