Google Fiber

BT Fibre on demand next year. They'll probably have a 1Gb/s package out by the end of 2013.

So BT is going to start FTTP rollout next year

shame its on demand tho. that means you will be paying through the nose and probably only really for business/large public buildings.

Just a shame BT are an awful ISP, otherwise I'd be interested.

Correct me if im wrong. But I thought the speed of light was just short of 300million m/s

Through a fibre channel it was 200mill m/s

and electricity was moving at 300mill m/s

I thought the benefits came through signal and range before requiring retransmission.

This is casting my mind back to 1st and 2nd year physics mind.

If you want 1GBit FTTP I will simply point you here:

www.hyperoptic.com

They are a client of mine and a number of buildings in London are already live and operating well.

Want it? Go get it.

It's connections like that which make me wonder why we pay so much for our home connections here. 100/10 from virgin costs me roughly the same per month as my 1GB/100mb vps server from Leaseweb in The Netherlands.

I find it very odd that a company of Google's size needs to get the deposits first. It just seems a bit uncharacteristic of them to be this cautious.

Not everyone lives in London, Mister.

It will go national eventually

The quicker that people in London get it, the quicker they will expand

You do realize they have a sign up service, so if you rally your entire community, they're unlikely to ignore you.

It has nothing to do with BT retail.
