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.

    Remember: It is not the size of your pipeline that matters. It is how well you handle it.

    Is there a bandwidth cap? What country is this? Do they accept foreigners?

    No. Sweden. Yes, quite a lot of them.
