A lot of Eastern European countries went straight for mobile phones, as upgrading the Soviet era POTS was pretty much pointless, given that mobile technology was there for the taking and cheaper and better to use.

Regarding higher speeds in the UK, when people start shopping around by speed rather than price and connectivity, maybe we'll see it. It'll probably happen when prices have reduced a bit though.
