Yeah appreciate that it's largely unlimited
but there is congestion on the networks of the kind that UK people wouldn't like, as soon as someone in the UK on 20 quid a month 100/100 drops below 90Mbit they'd probably be on the blower to their supplier.
Can you also imagine the UK tolerating the kind of speeds Japan sees outside of Japan? You guys get a fraction of line speed as soon as you leave the Islands, that'd cause mass complaints here.
You guys just have a different model, very high access speeds with contention at core and transit levels, here we expect 100% performance 100% of the time for nothing and whinge and moan as soon as it tails off.
As far as BT go, as per my comment on Thinkbroadband:

Is it just me that finds it amusing and somewhat tragic that Ofcom / BT are calling 40Mbit 'super-fast' while other countries are merrily laying down regulatory frameworks and deploying 100Mbit+ and in some cases 1000Mbit?

Or as in the case of quite a few places, already deployed!
