Non cable area - sigh - but luckily O2 has proved reliable and the speeds not bad, 8 Mps.

heh yeah been with the for years now, probably still with them because they don't mind me abusing the 10GB (joke) limit heh.... and since I need a lot of BW for work (and to dl steam games), I don't have many options (for that price) ;/

But they are both Fiber Optic. Hence them even advertising fiber optic.

We can get fibre here, infinity at least, no virgin...
I was considering it, but tbh, my 4mb with o2 is uncapped, and the thought of being with bt scares me.

Got Virgin Media 20MB here, think we were one of the first households in our town to get fibre back in the Telewest days. Still waiting on the upload speeds to be upgraded anyways, no doubt we will be one of the last major areas to have it done. Tempted to get 50MB if I can get the new customer deal. Think it is like £5.00/month extra.

just checked & if the info is any good, BT infinity should be available in my area from 31st Dec :D

Lucky! I added my vote for my exchange, but no doubt it will ages before anything is done.

well yeah, but if I'd live about 500m down the road I'd already have it :O

No cable, no fibre - not even 24Mb.

ADSL Max on BT IPStream sucks.

I'm afraid that political party preference does not affect fibre roll out.

I havn't even got cable :(, still stuck on DSL phone line modems and I won't ever get cable unless I move house. The stupid builders cut our cable line while they were building our drive way, saying "... don't worry you can still access the internet ...". :(.
