And yeah, it's slow some days. Some companies do provide the faster link, yes. But that's not everywhere and there has to be the fiber laid down in the ground for framework to your door, which just isn't the case everywhere. So 100Mbps may be possible in say, London or Birmingham or Manchester, but that's about it. And yes, you'll be paying through the nose for it.

Are you gloating? LOL! Actually, I wouldn't be able to take 2Mbps, to damn slow for todays online media. But I thought I read an article (long time ago) that in the UK there were a few companies that were providing 100Mbps ISP services. Pricey, but available. Woah! 2Mbps huh! Are you gloating?
