It’s a staggering statement but despite all of the advertising and media coverage, it has been estimated that only very small amount of UK internet users are able to actually get super fast broadband with speeds that are over 8 Mbps.
Only three per cent are able to get high speed internet access. As a comparison this figure of three per cent is more or less exactly the same as the amount of internet users who still get dial up with a speed of less than 128 Kbps.
On average the speed that is more often than not found by over half of all internet users is somewhere between 2 Mbps and 512 Mbps. While just one third of the UK users will be lucky enough to find that their internet connection speed is within the 2 Mbps and 8 Mbps range.

Da, toliko o famoznim brzinama i kako su one moguće na postojećem bakru. Da, ali na vrlo malom području i na malom broju parica dok većina može očekivati "mršavih" 2Mbps ili tako tu negdje, možda 3Mbps i to je otprilik eto za većinu korisnika dok ne dođe optika i to ne neki VDSL nego … optika. Do tada ćemo imati 8Mbps i 16Mbps… na reklamama… ako treba može i 24Mbps… zašto ne. ;-)

A do tada će i mobilni internet biti brži… mada skuplji… za sad.

Deutsche Telekom offers 3.8 pct wage increase to German T-Mobile staff
BONN (Thomson Financial) - Deutsche Telekom A.G. has offered a wage increase of 3.8 percent for its 5,500 German T-Mobile employees.
The offer, which runs over 11 months, includes a one-time payment of 550 euros to 650 euros per employee, the company said.

Cool… ne znam što to znači za domaću ekipu u T-Mobileu i da li oni imaju dovoljno jaki sindikat da izvede tako nešto ili sufinanciraju druge dvije firme unutar T-HT grupe, T-Com i Iskon, pa im ne ostane za povišice. :-)

A VIP…
