Infinite Bandwidth!

BT has decided to market FTTC under the name of "Infinity". The "Infinity" brand probably covers some FTTH installations as well. It will offer download speeds of up to 40Meg.

There is now an official list of when areas are being upgraded which can be found on this page. Much to Nomad's excitement, it arrives in his backyard before the end of the year.

We assume that this will automatically improve your uplink and download speeds. Lets say you are currently paying for "up to 10Meg" but only get 3Meg, which is fairly typical, you should be able to see speeds of 10Meg just by re-booting your modem.

Other service providers will presumably be offering competing products once your exchange is upgraded.

Update: Another useful site for information on broadband availability can be found here.
