50 Mbit/sec... That's just trippy.
If they ever do replace all the copper with fiber, access to the
Internet should get a lot faster. (I always thought it was silly that I
was accessing the Internet using an infrastructure designed for narrow
bandwidth voice coms, but hey...) Don't hold your breath for that
anytime soon.

It says which companies, doesn't seem to say where. Presumably only
inside London at the moment.

I've only seen one person who had this, and she was on 2 Mbit/sec.
Still, one person isn't a large sample size, and it was a while ago now.
