Regulator Ofcom ruled today that it will present “no regulatory barriers” to the development of super-fast broadband infrastructure. This will allow BT (among others in time) to go ahead with the planned investment of ÂŁ1.5bn in the fibro optic network, giving up to 20 million UK homes access to high-speed internet.
The network would see the installation of fibre-optic cables to street-side cabinets, offering speeds of between 40 and 60Mbps, with about 1 million homes having fibre to the home and speeds of 100Mbps.
Currently only Virgin Media are the UK providers of a fibre-optic network to a large number of people in the UK but even that is capped at 50mbps.
Wow, just think how quickly 24 would download :o and that is a full dvd in about 10 – 15 minutes by my reckoning, even more bad news for choices and blockbuster!!
