    8Mbps broadband hits Britain for £40/month





    Shame I can't get it yet, living out in the relative sticks, but my time will come...

      Well my exchange is listed , but I think I live too far from it

      Also:
      Are there any usage restrictions?

      We do not have a fixed bandwidth restriction. However we reserve the right to suspend or restrict your use of the Service if we consider it excessive. We would consider regular or recurring data transfer in excess of 4 Gigabytes per day to be an example of excessive use of our Broadband 8000 service.
      Not that I know what I'd do with 4GB/day, but that doesn't sit well with me.
      Blah blah blah nick blah blah confusion, blah blah blah blah frog.

          I'm happy my 8Mbps connection here doesn't have restrictions.

          But then again 4GB/day is a lot as long as you don't stream a lot of cntent over the net like say trailers or news broadcasts or (god forbid) you download "illegal content".

            My exchange isn't updated till March. And I've got two lines too... hmmm 16/0.8 8GB a day? (OK, still not as good as Sasq, but that's a given... )

                I probably would hit the 4GB per day limit

                Anyway, for some reason the valleys of South Wales are not on their rollout list
                The Welsh support two teams when it comes to rugby. Wales of course, and anyone else playing England
