    ADSL+ and VDSL+2 are in the works my area. Right now we have Fiber through Bellsouth, but it's obsolete.

    I think ADSL2+ can go at 25 mbps actually, it's crazy. I dont know when it will be around here, i'd have fiber at my house if Telergy didnt go out of business (the company who planned on doing residential fiber here).

    Verizon has just recently rolled out their FIOS (Fiber) in a few communities. You can get more info here http://www.verizonfios.com/. You can get 15 Mbps down, 2 Mbps up for $50.

    It will be a VERY long wait and will cost a lot more than that.

    Bulldog have 8mb for about £40 , so with the cost of fiber optics and all the rest, we are looking at £200.

    However after a few months, prices will plumit. We will just have to wait and see

    thats a possibility, although its more likely that theyre mixing that up witht he llu plans to roll out triple play over adsl2 using a 2mbit bes connection for the video. faster bb is in the pipeline at ntl but tornado came on the back of a lot of upgrading ubr's at thats just to get to 3mbit. Their focus is on video on demand and a few other features first
    having said that 6 mbit by next yr is definately a possibility, depends on the marketplace which is what really drives these things.

    so people keep saying, but bulldog only operates in certain areas in the UK, cough cough london cough. all the good things happen in london.

    Wish i lived there.

    NTL will upgrade to 6mb by next year if there is a market for it
    when BT roll out there 3mb package or more then 2mb then NTL will upgrade again and go one better as they always do

    and there will easily be a market for more speed. Ill be on it straight away. "I feel the need, the need for speed".

    sure bulldog can offer 8mb if you happen to be camped inside one of their llu'd exchanges. The technology is advancing but there are limits and it will take time. Rolling out adsl to begin with was a large investment , as was the recent upgrading of congested ubr's on the cable network. There isnt the same demand for 8mb that there was for 512kb when we were all on dialup. To be fair if you NEED 8mbit and its not for a commercial application youd probably be better off investing in an anne summers store card. I was on 750kn and very happy with that. I didn't complain about a free upgrade to 2mb, but Id be hard to justify paying anymore then I currently do for an improvement in speed. Theres simply no need. There will be a natural progression over the years with providers leap frogging each other, but its more likely that the changes you see in the next year or two will be what is sent down the pipe not the size of the pipe

    I just went to verizon fios website.
    It looks pretty neat for that speed and $49.99 a month, I am paying $49.99 a month for adelphia's cable, suddenly seems so expensive.

    The consumer offers do not permit customers to host any type of server, personal or commercial.
    does every ISP have limitations of that? if so, can anybody named some ISP that allows?

    not sure what u ment by the anne summers joke. people do use there connections for more then just porn.

    I personally would benfit from a higher in speed connection as it would allow me to play online games faster and smoother and even run my own server at a nice spec.

    But yes I can see ur point about price I too wouldnt pay extra. but I was qwite glad to get upgraded free to a 3mb line so im not complaining either.

    Yes, in Korea you can get 50Mbit connections for home use.
    note to self move out to Korea.

    Its not all about speed etc, you have to think about quality, and remember you get what u pay for.
