26-01-2005
Category: Product Information
With effect from 1 February 2005 XS4ALL is substantially increasing the download and upload speeds of its Start, Lite, Basic and Fast ADSL accounts. The new speeds are detailed in the following table.
Start ADSL
current speed: 416/160 kbit/s
new speed: 800/256 kbit/s*
Lite ADSL
current speed: 1120/352 kbit/s
new speed: 1600/512 kbit/s*
Basic ADSL
current speed: 2240/416 kbit/s
new speed: 3200/768 kbit/s*
Fast ADSL
current speed: 4480/704 kbit/s
new speed: 8000/1024 kbit/s*
*) The maximum speeds depend on the quality of the copper wire, the distance from the exchange and the modem used.
The new speeds will be implemented from 1 February. The precise date of the speed increase for your ADSL connection is not known, but the adjustment will be completed by 31 March 2005.
You will be unable to use your ADSL connection for a maximum of 15 minutes while the necessary work is carried out in the telephone exchange in your area. After this brief interruption you will be able to log in again and access the internet at the higher speed.
The new speeds will apply to all new connections supplied from 1 February 2005. They will also apply to all upgrades and downgrades from that time.
You do not need to take any action in order to benefit from the higher speeds. All the adjustments will be made automatically.
