There are two ways this can be done, one is through ethernet over coax which will require installation of new equipment throughout the country's access networks and will make the mass of newly installed uBRs redundant.

The other way is to use ADSL2+ line bonded or VDSL, again requiring extensive installation of new access layer equipment and making the existing DOCSIS (not ethernet over coax) infrastructure redundant.

The technology mentioned in the press releases as being potentially able to deliver 25 - 50Mbit is DOCSIS 3, which is at the moment not ratified, and will require the changing out of EVERY MODEM ON THE NETWORK. This is NOT a technology ready for deployment at this time.

So enough, there's nothing even on the drawing board about 25Mbit services yet, man in pub regurgitating what was said in a press release as being potential new products and giving it an entirely unrealistic timescale.
