They're probably advertising fibre to your cabinet, then copper to your house (Fibre to the cab)

Your house being very far away from the cab, means much lower speeds

That issue *basically* goes away once you're on fibre to the prem

I'm not going to pay an extra 14 quid a month for no extra speed 🙂

When fibre to the prem comes, you're going to get a higher speeds and a cheaper price

We've been through this <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

No, you've made a baseless assertion

I'll believe it when i see it

But all evidence from the past is it won't happen

We already know fibre provides higher speeds. Economies of scale and wladfa are proof the price will drop..

He now has a connection for 75 quid which would have cost 15k 10 years ago

We all have

Maybe not 10 years ago, but 20

So the prices will drop <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

No, the prices will not drop

<:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>

The prices will remain the same or increase, the speed will increase

We've just agreed upon examples of it dropping.

Yes, and those are specific examples of people using premium products

Products which are now becoming the default..

Unlimited internet has always been in the 20-30quid/month region

"Unlimited internet"
What?

20 years ago that'd be dial up, 15 year ago that'd be 256k broadband, these days it's 8-20mb

"unmetered"

That's generally not something companies advertise because it's the norm now

what

By metering, you mean there's a certain amount you can download per month?

yes, usage limits or throttling

Those generally aren't a thing anymore

Unless you're raping it stupid time.

throttling definitely still is

Who are you with?

Virgin media?

Me? No, Plusnet

And it's not a throttled or metered connection

> Plusnet does not throttle internet connections unless your account is in failed billing.

Well, that's their statement on it

They commonly used traffic shaping
