BT's Fibre Network to Complete Early.

Simon Morley - Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Well would you believe it... BT have announced that their monster UK wide fibre optic network is going to be ready for the Olympics in 2012. Turns out that only 40% of the country will be covered though by this time.

The network is due to bring rocket fast broadband to our homes. While Virgin already deliver a fibre network to much of the country, BT's network is still dependant on the old fashioned copper cables. The network should run at up to 100 Megabits per second.

You should be excited, we are. The biggest problem we have at the moment is broadband lines failing before they've ever worked. It's an embarrassment and while it's not our fault, we're the ones that have to spend our time troubleshooting.

Hopefully they'll fulfil their promises and actually deliver their network...
