100Mbit is your standard speed in Korea so how long before it's standard
here ?

Another 25 years if we keep to the current progress curve with everyone
making it hard for anything to progress. BT don't help either, farting
around with things like Max ADSL instead of getting on with ADSL2. What a

This isn't really an issue - only a fairly small proportion of people
can even get the most out of Max ADSL.

joke this country is. Oh and not to mention the UK ISP luaghing stock, who
expect everyone with a 2mbit connection to just check their email twice a
day or otherwise get a fair use policy warning for over use of the
connection !

Now, this is BTs fault.

They changed the way connections are metered.
So, an ISP basically had to choose between not offering any budget
connections at all - maybe 5-10 quid dearer, and paying BT over 50p/gig
for data transferr.
