It’s here! Sure announced their 100Mbps VDSL2 product back in December. And today it went live on my line:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, my phone line is actually ‘maxed out’. I’m hitting the 6dB target SNR now, which has never happened on my line before. Sadly it means I am 0.08Mbps off the 100Mbps sync speed!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The speed test results are actually very impressive. When I was on the 60Mbps service I would usually only get 45-50Mbps on average, so I was sort of expecting the 100Mbps service to scale similarly i.e. a throughput nearer 80Mbps.<\/p>\n

The price of the new service is fairly high – \u00a350.99 per month, or \u00a362.98 per month if you bundle it with a phone line. Compared to Gigaclear in the UK, which offers 100\/100 FTTH for ~\u00a347, Sure’s service is effectively 30% more expensive,\u00a0and Gigaclear’s pricing includes VAT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am genuinely pleased though that Sure are at least offering this product on the island. At least users now have the opportunity to choose from 4 different product offerings, priced at different levels.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see what the medium to long term plans are for Sure. In the UK, BT are beginning their roll-out of G.Fast, whilst in Jersey they will have island-wide FTTH (though, I might add, with fairly draconian usage limits).<\/p>\n

But in the short term, I’d really like to see some movement on IPv6!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
