What provider are you with that is stuck at 100Mb? and what's the countryside speed/provider?
I have had gigabit in the rural homes and the flat in London that covers the last 6 years, before that is was Virgin media.
We actually have ~40%(1) of the country now on gigabit capable infrastructure many of those can choose between gigabit from multiple different first mile infrastructure providers. The government project 85%(2) gigabit coverage by 2025, I think we will get higher than that from all the plans I have seen.
The biggest problem we in the Altnet world (non BT/Virgin media FTTH) is take up. Most people don't actually care and are happy to just stay on the cheapest 60Mb Sky/BT/NowTV/etc package for £22 a month. We see about 10% takeup/interest in areas with Virgin and FTTC, about 15% in areas with FTTC.
