But you got me on the speed of a OC-48 connection though. Although I don't really have the inclination to memorise all the transmissions speeds of optical carriers. I knew it was around 2gbps. Anyways, I only mentioned those so users can compare the speed offered in this trial to those of major corporate networks they may have heard about.

I didn't know that the peak throughput would be capped at 24mbps per household though...
That's in the future, it'll be 8Mbit initially as it's ADSL

EDIT: If this weren't government backed the ASA would be giving the people in question a kicking. This is no deeper fibre than standard ADSL.
