Hunt vows: 'UK will have fastest broadband in Europe by 2015'

Re: HMMM

Sounds like my house in West Sussex. Apart from the pine trees and the .5 meg Virgin broadband (on a good day).

Still, I'm glad Sir Richard's got a fast space plane and hangs out with the cool kids like Usain the Fast.

BT hires another battalion of troops to speed fibre rollout

2MB/sec

We get 454Kb - albeit 7 kms from the exchange.

Thankfully, Virgin provides the service, and BT doesn't bill us at all (BT is the absolute worst company in the world, of any company, of any type, btw, which spends money on making sales and then provides perpetually sh*t service).

Even if technology can't deliver faster over copper, I've only ever had good customer service from Virgin when leaves/trees/snow/crossed wires have interrupted things.
