A new topic for broadband reviews emerges with expanding fibre optic networks -Press Release
Tags: fibre optic, home broadband
Much has been written of slowdowns in broadband service caused by congestion of data streaming in what is referred to as the last mile. The last mile is a generic term used to describe the breakdown of internet connection speed as connections get closer to your doorway. In many instances of broadband comparison United Kingdom consumers paid for promised speeds of “up to” 12 Mb only to find out through a simple speed test that they were clocking in at a meager 128 Kb. For those unaware that would be slightly better than old fashioned dial up speed! With this in mind we are skeptical of the recent surge in FTTC Fibre to the Cabinet (or curb) promises. We must always compare broadband reviews so as to read for ourselves what our neighbours had to say about any given service. Eclipse internet has just announced broadband packages launching in April offering 40 Mb as created by FTTC. But the final link in the delivery of broadband will still be sent by means of copper cable. Logic would have us think that the curb to home link should not provide too much of a slowdown. Bear in mind that Fibre to the curb actually means Fibre optic cable to within 1000 feet of your premises. After that one may still wish to compare broadband so as make sure speed of shared connections between homes and businesses travels the last distance into the premises.
Most of the market for these new Eclipse Internet packages seems to be in the business sector. For business users all of the extra seconds waiting for screens to load can add up to a tremendous cost in productivity.
