France is closer and with 100mbit symetrical

Unless this is 100mbit symetrical or 100mbit/10mbit then i dont really see the point.

stay with vm and u'll get 5Mbps lol

i did note in the link it states that (virgin media is upgrading it's whole network to 50meg by the end of the year) does that mean we will all get a free upgrade or does that mean virgin are going to spend some money at long last hmmmm either way i feel a laughing fit coming on rofl!!!!!

woah, i want 100Mbps internet, wonder how much it going to cost

due to it been in the in place it will be it shouldnt be that much as fibre is that expensive and very tuff

Never ceases to amaze me this great country of ours..

We invented the damn telephone and have one of the slowest internet systems in the world.

To many greedy companies just interested in PROFIT PROFIT PROFIT. It will be their downfall one day soon. Another thing !!!! What would you do if you suddenly get 100 megs bandwidth ? lol. Unless you are a heavy downloader of progs etc, then it aint no use and then on the other hand, virgin will be monitoring you anyways.. Catch 66.

I'd find ways to waste it, trust me
I'm thinking Tor relays galore with that sort of speed (As long as the upload is good).

100Mb/s should be low latency as well, ideal for gamers, which is the reason South Korea is so wired.

It should be, but like all things networking, that's in no way a guarantee.

Very, very true.

At least if they are offering 100Mbps to everyone the backbone will be massive, hopefully. Should mean people get decent speeds, no matter what (Well, above 1/5th of the 100Mbps is decent for the UK).

Bring it on i say and if they want people to trial it iam quit happy to volunteer.
