Title: Broadband's faster future
Post by: Simon on June 08, 2008, 22:16

In the future everyone could have the option of getting their broadband at up to 100Mb per second - and some homes can already get speeds of up to 50Mb per second.

With an average speed of 2Mb we are now the slowest in Europe.  Well done BT.

What do you expect, Clive?  The company has 'British' in the title.

That would be about the size of it, Sam.  It will be like being given a Ferrari that's limited to only being driven 2 miles a day.
