Ian Fogg: BT Ebsfleet fibre trial "lowest fibre service in Europe"
The BBC reports today on comments by Jupiter Research's Ian Fogg about the BT fibre trial in Ebsfleet.
Having described it as "lowest fibre service in Europe", Ian continues: "I am surprised. This is a trial and I see no reason why they aren't trialling the highest speed the technology can deliver. What is the point of a trial if you don't really test things?"
BT responds that the speeds are "very decent" and "higher in fact than anyone currently needs".

As ever BT fail to get it right! 2,5Mbps 'burstable to 50Mbps' and I bet there will be a 'fair usage policy' put on it also....how are they going to deliver TV down that in other than a downloadable form? Ebbsfleet is a lame duck of a service. If its for download only ten maybe is margnally better than the current ADSL services but for streamed media? forget it.
