100mbps for Bournemouth

[Smilie]

just realised i got this email from yesterday

Hi (my name)

A while ago you signed up to Bournemouth Fibrecity updates and asked us to inform you of any developments. I am pleased to let you know that we are now at the stage where we need the permission, of the home owner, to connect where you live. In the next week you will also get a letter through the post which will contain further information on the Fibrecity network.

The installation work will be completed free of charge and all the home owner needs to do is opt in by:

Filling in the online form by clicking here
Filling in the tear off slip on the letter you receive and returning it in the free post envelope
Visiting the Fibrecity helpdesk at Bournemouth Library, The Triangle from the beginning of August.
The way we install the connection does not take long and opting in does not obligate you or the home owner to use the services that will be available via this connection. However, being connected will give the ability to ‘switch on’ should you or future residents want to benefit from having this ultra high speed connectivity.



This offer of free connection to Fibrecity has to be limited to 28 days. Opting in now avoids having to pay to be connected if you change your mind in the future.

If you need any further information, please call 0800 95 4 20 20.

Warm regards



Elfed Thomas
CEO – Fibrecity

What I don't understand is, how can speeds of 100mbps(or even 50mbps) be achieved unless you are only downloading around Bournemouth?.
From what I've read on the forum BT's lines won't support such speeds even if you camp in the exchange and as cable only covers a small percentage of the country compared to BT it seems that most internet traffic is running over copper wires.
I can't see how such high speed can be attained, perhaps someone can explain or do I need a new pair of glasses.

This company is laying high speed cable in sewers.

Have a look at their website.
