TALKTALK to offer 40Mbps broadband

Mike — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 05:35:01 +0000

TalkTalk are looking to offer customers in Muswell Hill, London and Whitchurch in Cardiff, Internet access speeds up to 40Mbps, this is possible due to the deployment by Openreach of FTTC technologies in these areas. This overcomes the limitation of LLU and the extended copper lengths from the Telephone exchange to the customer modem . This had previously limited the download speeds. The supporting network equipment is now based much closer the customer premises.

TalkTalk will leverage the BT Openreach FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) network that enables up to 40Mbps. If this trial proves successful TalkTalk will extend the service across the network as the new infrastructure is deployed.

Upload speeds are expected also to increase as the trial progress as the old one way (ADSL – Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Lines) which could only offer high speed downloads in one direction, to move towards the new type VDSL services which can support high speed in both directions. This will finally enable those home workers who experience lightning fast download to also get higher upload speeds initially starting at 2Mbps but ultimately moving towards 5/10Mbps, this will enable them to be able to send files in emails, videos or connect to corporate networks with the same experience as the currently get on download.
