The fastest broadband connection in britain was 21mbps acheived by a Bethere customer, this highlights how backward we are in comparison to countrys like japan, who are currently running VDSL servcies at upto 50-60Mbps. But thing that really knocks all this on its head is the fact that fast ethernet/100Mbps networking has been around since 1995 over 11 years ago, yet somehow BT struggle to offer us internet connections anywhere near that speed ?
