All very true but it should be mentioned that a 125 tuner modem is way out of reach at the moment, and a 3.75Gbit/s upload even with the tuners in place is just not feasible on cable networks at the moment.
VM have at absolute most 60MHz of bandwidth on the upstream and in a lot of areas less than 40, in some 25 which is nowhere near enough for 1Gbit let alone 3.75 assuming that the entire bandwidth there is useful, which it likely won't be, and that there's nothing else running on it.
The numbers are great to look at but we won't be seeing networks with that kind of downstream for a considerable time, if ever, upstream, well, no comment. It would require a lot of investment in the access network which is something VM have a bit of an allergy to going by their network overbuild spend thusfar, less than 1/5th of some companies.

Some of the world for sure.

h20 are doing 100mb broadband in Bournemouth, Northampton and Dundee and thats through standard line, (( with fibre optic put from exchange somewhere ))

It's fibre to the home not standard lines, the fibre is right to your home and is a work in progress, not complete. Not sure if they've even started building yet.

comapny called geo lease there fibre optic lines to tiscali and a few other isp's
none of these isp cap your bandwidth ??
so what would you go for ? a service thats capped or a service thats not capped ?
its only a matter of time before we have that choice

That is only core network fibre, doesn't really relate to the service at your home, and Tiscali throttle like hell
