Here we go again, >:(
With millions still struggling to get above 2mb,we are now mentioning 110mb.No doubt about 0,01% of the population will be able to get this.

Virgin are another company that are aiming high at a tiny minority of the population,while millions still don't have cable access.
Example...where I use to live we were the first area in Sheffield to get cable (at that time it was a company called Yorkshire Cable).This was around 1994.
I now live less than 3 miles from my old address and 15 years on have no cable access.This seems common across the city,some areas that have,but many areas that don't

Anyone can easily get this if their name is Michael Rake and they are the Chairman of BT. See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/30/rake_broadband/

Gentlefolk,
Just in case we get carried away with envy, that trial was only their horrible BET which still uses two twisted pairs and is not in any sense future-proofed !
It might have been a ploy to obtain Government Grants but I believe that has been rumbled.
In any case duplicating every broadband line is highly unlikely to even be a practical proposition.
I believe some Hambledenians have a better wireless solution now.
Kind regards,
Walter
