Something we would like to share with you regarding what UPTO means

What does 'up to' mean?
Wednesday 23 April 2008 13:19:54 by Andrew Ferguson
Is the phrase 'up to' in broadband advertising being missed or not understood by the consumer? Or are parts of the press embarking on a witch hunt?

When broadband providers advertise a product as 'up to 8Mbps' what they mean is:

For ADSL/ADSL2+ based products your actual connection speed will vary based on factors including length of telephone line, state of wiring in the property and even time of day.
For broadband products sold to consumers the networks beyond the local exchange/node are shared and as such you are not guaranteed to see downloads that hit the maximum speed, particularly during the busy times of the night.
Most products sold as up to 2Mbps are actually a fixed speed connection, so it is a case of you get a 2Mbps connection or nothing. The speed variation is just down to the shared nature of consumer broadband.

Something interesting to know about ;

1: Your Cables

The truth is that one of the most important factors when estimating broadband speeds - the most important for many users - remains the type of cable installed in the area.

There are five main types in the UK, generally offering :

FTTH (Fibre to the Home) - 1Gb
Virgin FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) - Up to 152Mb
BT FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) - Up to 78Mb
ADSL2+ - Up to 24Mb
ADSLMax - Up to 8Mb
The fastest - FTTH - is currently only available in the UK as part of broadband trials from BT and Virgin Media or from very small providers like Hyperoptic.

Note that both Virgin Media (more here) and providers using BT's fibre network (listed here) are offering FTTC services but at different speeds, that's partly the providers' decision and partly down to the 'last mile' cables they use. Find out more here.

Because of the expense of installing new technology and because most of the decisions on what to install are being made by profit-making companies, urban areas with more people sharing an exchange are most likely to have the fastest cables installed.
