subject: adsl2+ or vdsl2: the road ahead
Over the past weeks some of our competitors have introduced adsl2+ offerings. Some of them are now offering adsl2+ packages on less then 3%!!! of the territory. Our customers have asked whether we will start offering adsl2+ also in the near future. We have chosen not to start offering adsl2+ because of the fact that no regulated offer for adsl2+ exists at the moment making it impossible to start offering this service on a national scale. By the beginning of 2008 however, our partner turboline should have rolled out its vdsl2 network in a big part of the belgian territory making symmetric speeds of up to 100 mbit/sec no longer a utopy. We will at that time offer our current adsl-subscribers the possibility to switch to the new accounts before their existing adsl-1 accounts have reached their expiration date. More info on VDSL2 can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_High_ ... ber_Line_2. Since we know waiting until 2008 can take a while we have decided to increase the included bandwidth in our netconnect account as of 01/07/2007 to 75gb. As of that moment the traffic used in the so called "happy hours" will only be counted for 50% instead of 60% and the rate for extra transfer will lower from 0.4 euro/gb to 0.3 euro/gb. The maximum limit of buying extra gb at this reduced cost will also be lifted. The included transfer in our netconnect plus account will be increased at that same date to 150gb.
Graag had ik persoonlijk liever een kleine stijging van de upload speed gezien,maar dit lijkt me zeker een leuke pijnverzachter tot 2008
