BT to invest £2.5Bn on high speed internet.

BT, the largest supplier of both home-broadband and traditional dial-up for the UK, (British Telecoms…duh) have announced that they are finally taking the plunge and investing £2.5 billion on new ultra fast fibre optic cables, that are said to offer “up-to*” 60Mbps, which is roughly still only half the speed of the ultra fast systems in place in France and Japan, a tiny increase in monthly subscription is expected for this massive change, even though, Japan gets twice our speed, by paying half as much, anyway, change couldnt come soon enough,

* Clever get out cause, Up-to 60 and you get 2 so they don’t get sued
