In the article mentioned theres a reference to the usage of DOCSIS 3.0 standard.
This means these 50Mbps connections are cable connections, not ADSL nor fiber optic...

ADSL tops at 24Mbps (with ADSL2+)
So from the copper wiring you will only get this, unless operators start deploying VDSL hardware, which would the be able to get near 100Mbps.

Trev, I think so. In the UK it's absolutely s****. Virgin, can you give us our full 10MB us users ask for and then release bigger MB's. It;s like you don't give a crap about us.

i get nearly 20mb for 37 quid which is already pricey, nevermind the ridiculous 51 pounds. In HK, we'd expect to pay ~20 max for the same service.

Yeah i cant understand the throttling on FO lines... thought they were supposed to be more efficient? I always associated throttling with the old copper lines due to the technology
