11 February 2009 - £1 for 30 minutes of 100Mbps

Thinkbroadband reports "The launch was at the end of January 2009, but we did not write it up then as we were waiting on feedback from the company as to what the upstream speeds were. Fortunately Rory Cellan-Jones of the BBC has paid a visit to the development and reported a speedtest of 75Mbps down and 50Mbps up while using the boost button available to residents. The boost button allows people to decide as and when they need the full 100Mbps that the fibre to each home can provide, otherwise you are limited to a speed defined by the price you pay, i.e. £15 gets you a 8Mbps limit, £19 a 16Mbps limit and £29 tops out at 32Mbps.

The boosts cost £1 for 30 minutes, but if you make maximum use of this you can download 22GB in this time."

Although only available to potentially very specific areas this is an exiting advancement in affordable and truely high-speed internet connectivity.
