    50Mb broadband - thank you welsh assembly

    Will certainly beat the 1.5Mbps that I currently get through the miles of copper wires from the phone exchange. And no sign of fibre in my area yet.

    Good old welsh assembly paying for some sort of wireless solution - normal cost £1000 installation. £40 a month for 50Mbps. Sounds good to me.

    Another advantage is you can get rid of phone line if you want too - normally you've got to have phone line for broadband. Thus, saving a few more quid.

    1.5 is about 3x faster than what I have at present. Mind you I could ditch the ADSL and go with 3G it would be cheaper at £12 a month vs. about £14 for the unlimited I have now. And ditch the phone line as well. I'd save about £20/month if I did that.

      Yeah, totally agree. Got rid of my BT phoneline and broadband and got Virgin fibre - 120Mbps - cabinet right outside my house.

      Can I boast how quick it takes to download a 4Gb rip?

      Playing L4D2 and Skyping is now interrupt free and crystal clear. All hail to the fibre!

      If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

        Oh dear. Not good.

        Welsh assembly will pay for this for anyone who gets under 2Mbps currently.

        Free prescriptions as well - its worth moving to Wales! ;-)

            Rumours abound is that there's a giant lizard there, although if you do see him, can you get him to give me a bit more rep?

                JTK is a buddy of mine. He'll take care of that reptile (again).
