- EwanToo 14y agoI don't know what the deal is in Germany, but in the UK BT have finally launched a FTTH option, so the numbers will start creeping up. The name, in case anyone wants to look it up, is "BT Infinity 160Mbps" - it's 160Mbps down, 20Mbps up. http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/broadband/faster-internet http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/broadband/fas...
- kayoone 14y agoIn Germany you can easily get >100Mbps through cable in many cities. FTTH would be nice, but overall i dont think average broadband speeds are really lacking behind that much. I got 50/5Mbit cable at home and 120/10Mbit in the office.
- Nux 14y agoThe internet in UK (London, Virginmedia) is terrible; whenever I need to download and especially upload something (some video, hires pictures, system backups) there is serious swearing involved. In comparison, _eight_ years ago in Bucharest I had 100/100 Mbps, just like anyone else. At least Virgin realised they suck at it and sold the Broadband division to UPC/Chello, but that's not much reason to be optimistic.
