Calling all British citezens!
A while ago, I signed a petition on the Prime Minister’s web site regarding forcing BT to upgrade to a fibre optic network. As I was browsing and the issue of broadband speed crept back into my mind, I decided to check it out again.
BT (British Telecom) is scheduling an overhaul of it’s services, which will finish by 2011. The current plan is to upgrade all homes to using IP telephones and cables which should bring broadband speeds up to a reasonable 24mbps.
However, Japan and other countries are already using broadband speeds which are considerably faster than this! 2011 is over 3 years away still so the speed gap will continue to grow between now and then.
I urge every British person reading this to sign the petition on the Prime Minister’s site - it only takes a minute and I think it’s worth it! Do you want to be using 24mbps in 2011 when Japan amongst other countries are using something like 150mbps?! Sign it now!
