it always makes me wonder you know.... why can places like japan manage to provide 100mbit connection speeds for all these years -- not just download i might add, but upload speed as well -- and yet, in this country we're getting absolutely raped with much lower connection speeds for higher prices, and to make it worse, they completely fail to provide those speeds anyway?
100mbit in japan is dirt cheap. it's not even the fastest connection you can get there. in certain places you are able to get 1gig connection speeds.
if in some countries they're able to provide 1gig connection speeds at affordable prices, why oh why are virgin media unable to provide a mere 20mb without capping the hell out of us?
anyone remember this?

In partnership with Arris and BitTorrent the trial will take place in Ashford, Kent. The 100Mb speed will be 10 times the highest speed offered by NTL at the moment.
