New Fibre WiFi up to 50mb?

liamcrane · 2 Aug 2011 at 16:13

Just been reading this, dont know if its old news or not but seems kinda promising, dont no just how reliable it would be though but 25mb speed for £12.25 a month seems kinda good

What's more our service is SDSL which means you are able to upload as fast as you are able to download, perfect for businesses and online gamers.

FibreWiFi is delivered by radio...

The name of this service is a bit misleading.

Sounds great, anyone with more technical details of the technology please post.

The coverage map is almost reaching my area. I wonder what sort of latency and stability etc.

Horrible and misleading name (though we can blame Virgin and BT for starting the trend).

If that 40GB usage is peak only, and there's unlimited offpeak that's a pretty decent setup, I'd be on it like a shot if it was available in Somerset. If however it's a 24/7 cap I'd stick with my 2Mb ADSL, which lets me pull down a couple of hundred GB a month off peak.

It's just normal WiFi, but using beefy antennas. Latency would probably be pretty good, under 10ms.

And available to approximately 2 people

Just outside the coverage from far left but it seems its only 40gb usage so pretty poor.

I would happily take 40GB usage @ 25Mb/sec

I live within a mile of Canary Wharf and yet all I can receive is ADSL2 @ 1.5Mb/sec :mad:

Looks like the light green area reaches half way across the field at the end of my dad's garden, but not his house!

Nearly twice the speed I can get!

On the plus side, lease line prices are probably cheap for you

Is this just WiMax?
