People will buy it, they have a lot of clients who are on there 50MB package and that used to be or still is around that price so if they can sell it then why not. UK broadband speeds is crap compared to other countries like Japan and Virgin Media are giving us a step forward, I doubt I will get this when it comes to my area but it's nice to see them bringing it.

I'm still waiting on a 50mb line. I think I'm on a 15mb line, scraping 160kbps at best.
"As you’re not in a fibre optic cable area, you won’t be able to get your hands on up to 100Mb broadband just yet.
But don’t despair, our National broadband service offers the fastest speed we can give you, plus the chance to choose your download size. And it’s super easy to switch too."
as I suspected.

I never said people wouldn't buy it, i'm just saying that I certainly won't.

Think I'll be getting this. Good news for the UK. They could push out 200mb if they wanted.
