New limits for ADSL to be implemented in UK 06/09/04

"BT Wholesale has made its official announcement on new limits for the 0.5Mbps and 1Mbps services. Readers should note that the new limits do not come into effect until 6th September 2004, so do not expect ISP sales/support staff to be ready until that date, or to be able to order using the new limits until then. The full BT press release can be found [color=#0000ff]here[/color].

The 0.5Mbps ASDL service is to have its test limit abolished, and the 1Mbps service is to have its limit raised from 41dB to 60dB. The 2Mbps services will remain on the 41dB test limit. The effect of this is that almost all people who can get a 0.5Mbps service now, should be able to receive the 1Mbps service, and a lot more people will be able to get the basic 0.5Mbps service."

This is very good news for people like myself and others in similar/worse situations. Opening up the world of 1mbit broadband to current 512k users currently unable to get 1mbit and opening up 512k to almost all of the people currently connected to an adsl enabled exchange.
