they put free fibre optic cable into our house , what we realy notice is the upload speed which is 20mb/s , download is 76mb/s but varies a bit , in few years time will be 300mb/s http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/broadband/infinity Title: Re: finally ..............................

Virgin, sadly, don't serve my area. Title: Re: finally .............................. Post by: Ironside on April 09, 2013, 06:30:20 PM likely 2030 before we get anything like infinity
