24 Mb Consumer Broadband Launched

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the can-i-get-a-t1-for-what-i-pay-in-cable-now dept.

twilight30 writes to tell us The Guardian is reporting that broadband provider "Be" is providing customers with the option of a 24 megabits per second download speed connection. These speeds are roughly three times the closest local competitor and also allow 1.3 megabits per second upstream, roughly five times quicker than any other service provider. The service is being offered at £24 (US $42.84) per month. Hopefully this will become a trend of radically increasing consumer internet speeds.

    They're not on the stock exchange, so it's not really possible for you to invest in them - even if you wanted to. Get your head out of your arse. ZOMG THER NOT RAPING EVERYBODY 2 GET MONEY WHATS RONG WITH THEM COMMIE SCUM!!1!11!1!!1 Telecommunications here in Australia is complete crap, and it's really good that companies like Internode are taking it upon themselves to do something about it. They're spending millions, and they'll get it back in time - but they're nowhere near as profit-driven as the [I] government owned [/i] Telstra.
