Fibre Connections from karoo

Ah, so there not boosting speeds past 24meg for the time.

Althought when they have the fibre in place upping the speed beyond 24meg should be fairly simple.

I doubt the capacity will be increased just yet. I have been told that once this transition is well under way, Upload capacity may be increased where possible.

Excellent good news for the people who need, i suppose most kc customers would kill for a connection that i have. I suppose kc just want to make it better for the people.

Will they be a price difference at all?

500metres for example will become 50metres (ie: time is takes for information to travel through the fibre).. So in turn it will have a huge impact on Line attenuation..

I would have thought it would be better than that seen as though Fibre-optic cables deliver data at the speed of light...

KC will not charge more for changing their infrastructure, or should i say 'they shouldnt but probably will'..

Yes most people would love a connection like yours.. But the main sticking point for most is the bandwidth allowance's.. I would happily have a 7mb/7mb type connection and know that i can happily download all day with having to watch my limits.

@Ace247

your correct, I was just giving a simple example, But yes the speed transfer rate will be very very fast.

Exactly, 24mb speeds with such small allowances on bandwidth isn't value for money or practical.

The way I see it is, cause you get a faster speed, doesn't automatically mean you'll download more, for example I have a 16 meg connection, I can vary between 20-50 GB downloads per month looking at the karoo usage meter, if my connection was to be faster I don't think i would download anymore, just get the same things but quicker. Obviously if you're one of these people that has stuff running 24/7 then it might be different.

Karoo still talking about putting Fibre down while over places get this http://dark-fiber.tmcnet.com/news/2010/09/13/5003968.htm

karoo do offer fiber,

you got about 5000 pound for install and about 200 quid a month you can have it
