World Class ?. I believe he is looking for speeds of 50mbs by 2017 !!!!!!.

So why am I sitting here in Germany with 100mbs ?

I get flat rate internet and telephone, combined with over 40 channels of HD TV. I got a receiver with a hard disk for recording programs and films.

I can pause both films and Live events like football with this system. All for the pricy sum of 46 euro a month.

That's how much you are being ripped off, and how far you are behind, in "Modern Britain".
