That said, I'm sure that BT will make much of the Fibrous nature of their offering; the state of broadband marketing in the UK means that "unlimited" doesn't mean what you'd expect it to mean, "fibre-optic" is based on proximity, and BT can claim to have better wireless routers because of, um, something.

Personally, I'm waiting for them to quintuple bond DOCSIS 4.0 channels so I can get tea, coffee, milk and cream delivered straight to the home.
