By the time I get this speedy goodness for myself here in the UK the human race would have been wiped out by the termite people.

A guy in a tinfoil hat wearing nothing but a wooden barrel told me outside of Mc Donalds this morning.

Virgin Media are rolling out a DOCSIS 3.0 based 50Mbps later on this year. They've been running trials for what seems like forever. (They've also been trialling 100Mbps)

They'd have probably done it sooner, but they have the small problem of operating with £6Billion of debt.

Want fast internet?
Consider moving to Asia

e.g. Hong Kong
(which you can get 100mb/s up AND down Fiber Optic connection for just US$30)
If you find a job there and live 7 years in a row, citizen you are.

Japan has even faster internet, but it’s difficult to move in.

I used to be with virgin media. their customer service was beyond terrible. I wish BT would hurry up and get their act together....

Ray,

It's easy to move to if you're a student and/or actually have a technical background...

If you're a liberal arts major...well, your only role would be to try to teach them English.

I'm in Japan (in the sticks) and have a 100Mbit up/down Fibre line. I pay about $50 a month though so that seems expensive!

And by the time I can get any high-speed at all the sun will have burned out.
@$%#!!
