Remember UFB fibre is not the same thing as P2P / point to point / business fibre. The best way to think about it is that UFB is "ADSL delivered via fibre" and has the same quality of service. whereas business fibre is a literal piece of fibre from the business premise to the local CO of which Enable have two in Christchurch. Business UFB plans still have residential grade SLAs, so if you're a business who depends on connectivity, a business UFB might not be appropriate. Also UFB is fundamentally different to P2P fibre. UFB is a shared medium using passive optical splitters in the local fibre cabinet, so you will get one colour of light, and your neighbour gets a slightly different colour. P2P fibre is empty - if you buy it dark then you can put all the colours you want (okay frequencies) down the fibre. Normal schools tend to have p2p fibre, most of them have had it for years. -- CF _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
