It wasn’t that long ago when our esteemed Mr Killick was a bit niggled by the speed of the internet.

Maybe Government Minister Stephen Timms was listening? Virgin it seems, are rolling out a 50 Mbps service that will be available to more than 70% of the 12.5m homes its cable network covers by the end of 2008.

    I love Cable broadband because they can deliver that kind of speed as they have their own network.

    Unlike my last house, (unfortunately for me), they didn’t put the cables in where our office is, or where I moved to.

    If you can get cable broadband, it is a lot better than any of the others that use the BT network.
