As an alternative to waiting forever for the lumbering British Dinosaurcom to giving you >8Mb speeds, check out www.samknows.com to see if there's already an ISP offering better speeds on your exchange. On my exchange, BeThere.co.uk are offering up to 24Mb while BT only offer 8Mb on a more expensive tariff.

Those people living in the BH10 and BH11 postcode areas of Bournemouth could see speeds of 100mbps using H2O's new Fibre to the Home service. A compelling reason to move home (as if the sun, sand and sea wasn't enough already).

These trials will follow another in the Foxhall exchange area of Kesgrave in Suffolk in early 2009. The Ebbsfleet valley in Kent is to get FTTP, probably to encourage more businesses to set up in this area. Wouldn't wanna live there otherwise though, not even if they had 100mbit broadband to give away.

I was 4 miles out from being in the right area (Muswell Hill). So close and yet so far. Damn. I could have been a statistic (one of the .01%ers). :/

Yep, been loving ADSL2 via Be for nearly a year now, meanwhile BT still aren't even offering the service to my knowledge. And to think I was apprehensive about jumping ship from BT, funny with hindsight.

O2/Be only offer their service in 20% of the country so it's still not an option for most of us.

When did virgin switch to all-fibre? I'm pretty sure they use copper cables going into homes.
