I'm thinking about quitting Sky broadband and going with BT myself. They've just announced
a new 300mbps service which will start rolling out later this month in some areas (so it might reach Accrington by 2013

). All subscribers will get fibre optic cables direct to their door, which should mean broadband speeds are as high as advertised (not 'upto Xmbps speeds' as is currently the case).
For casual web users it should just mean that the connection is much more relaible. For people such as myself who use it for large uploads and downloads (work, not porn or piracy

) and for online gaming, it will be an absolute godsend.
