Excuse our sour grapes, but the fortunate proportion of Britons with access to
BT's fibre fiber-optic
broadband will find everything much faster from today at no extra cost. Infinity 1 customers now have an upstream of (as always) "up to" 9.5Mbps, up from 1.9Mbps yesterday, but downstream remains fixed at 38Mbps. Meanwhile, those with Infinity 2 have seen their speeds doubled with 19Mbps up and 76Mbps down as the company continues its jockeying with
Virgin Media to remain top dog in the speedy broadband stakes. Those of us who aren't in an area that's been earmarked for the
fiber-optic rollout will have to make do with checking the property websites and
wishing.
