Since I got high speed broadband, I don't mean standard 512 or 1MB but very highspeed broadband over 6MB, I have become used to getting 5 to 20mb files in under a minute.
When I come accross a slow server and download something I get impatient quickly and either cancel the download or try to get it later.
IF someone paid me £10,000 to go on dialup for a year I would tell them to go stuff themselves.
Now there is news that Cable companies in the UK are trialling 100MB broadband. I beleive NTL is currently running trials. That's not all. I am now seeing companies offering bonded DSL lines to basically double the bandidth both up and down that you currently receive.
If you're on DSL and you're not far from your exchange and getting speeds above 10MB; with bonded DSL lines you would double your bandwidth. It doesn't end there. Companies are trialling VDSL which is better technology to ADSL2+ meaning the range increases for supply of broadband from your local exchange. IF you were far from your exchange and were getting say 4MB, with VDSL you would get 9mb. If you were close to your exchange and were getting 15mb and up, you would end up with about 30 - 52MB broadband speeds. Now add a second line and bond the two together and you're looking at close to 100MB and over broadband speeds.
FInally we can catch up with the rest of Europe and some other countries where 100MB broadband is standard.
