UK homes to get super-fast fibre

_44372700_h20body.jpg UK homes in certain towns will benefit from 100Mbps broadband, delivered via the sewers. The BBC reports.

"Fibre firm H2O provides super-fast broadband via the sewers and either Bournemouth, Northampton or Dundee will be offered the service first.

It will compete with more established companies, such as Virgin Media, which is speeding up its cable network.

... For consumers, super-fast net connections could create a range of new applications including on-demand high definition (HD) TV, DVD quality film downloads in minutes, online video messaging, CCTV home surveillance and HD gaming services."
