What I don't understand is, how can speeds of 100mbps(or even 50mbps) be achieved unless you are only downloading around Bournemouth?.
From what I've read on the forum BT's lines won't support such speeds even if you camp in the exchange and as cable only covers a small percentage of the country compared to BT it seems that most internet traffic is running over copper wires.
I can't see how such high speed can be attained, perhaps someone can explain or do I need a new pair of glasses.
