Re: 100mbps for Bournemouth

I don't know what the Fibrecity network topology looks like, but remember you only as fast as your slowest part of the network.

Fibrecity are providing a fibre access network (which is great) but they'll have to link up to a national backhaul and overall speed will be determined by how congested they are, or how good their ISPs kit is.

It should be better than adsl, but don't expect 100mb not straight away.

Fibrecity are literally just selling dark fibre at an access level, which is risky because if they don't have any take up they'll struggle to return on the investment, and in this economic climate that could be the end.
I could see Entanet using it if the infrastructure's there.
