Bulldog Touts 20Mbps xDSL Service
Posted: 19th Feb, 2004 By: MarkJ
Once again Bulldog Communications has hinted at a forthcoming super-speed broadband xDSL service by the end of 2004. The operator appears to be aiming for a 20Mps product:
"We're developing a 20Mbps product, which I think will launch at the back-end of this year," Richard Greco, chief executive of Bulldog, told ZDNet UK News on Wednesday.
Precise details aren't yet available, but it's likely that the product will be an SDSL product -- a symmetrical service giving users high-speed connectivity both upstream and downstream -- rather than an ADSL one. Greco also said that pricing hasn't been set.
At 20Mbps, Bulldog's forthcoming product will be fast enough to compete with leased lines. The broadband boom has already pushed leased line prices down, and this trend could continue once this 20Mbps product launches, assuming Bulldog can sell it at an attractive price.
Much as we've reported several times since December 2003 and contrary to the above ZDNet item prediction, the product is more likely to be their ADSL2+ offering.
Bulldog has touted ADSL2\2+ by name for the same period twice before (see our 'Future Broadband' article), which is a technology designed to do up to 20Mbps. We note that basic ADSL2 does 12Mbps.
Whatever happens, we hope to have more details as the year progresses.
