Telehouse is a major data center so a fair chunk of web hosting is co-located there, and a fair chunk of bandwidth flows though too... So its not like it will only affect a small proportion of websites. Its like having an OC-12 to OC-48 connection at home. (assuming the 2gbps is syncronous, not asyncronous)

Hrm buzzwords for the win Punkster, we don't use OC connections in the UK and an OC-48 is equivalent of 2.5Gbps -ish so that doesn't really apply either.
Their speeds won't far, far exceed 10Mbps as they are only getting 24Mbps for internet usage and TV, and they are sharing that 2Gbps with every home on the trial. That is the total bandwidth available to all, not to any one house.
jtwn - ta for the link. This actually looks like ADSL and nothing more, and the 2Gbps is a LES-1000 going into the exchange and a LES-1000 going out of the exchange. Will max up to 24Mbps once ADSL2+ is available.
I have a feeling I have this '2 Gbps' service already, I'm on HomeChoice aka Video Networks...
