Story: Unlimited-broadband offers to go 'within a year'
Nonsense: The Bandwidth Party continues.
People get paid for these opinions ?
The statements on bandwidth are simply not true and never have been true.
Technological progress and optical fiber ensure that sufficent bandwidth is available. Bandwidth growth is 40% p.a. in the USA.
A replacement router will have double (or multiples times the performance of previous generations, when replaced, depending on age) as a consequence of moores law.
Virgin Media are in a position to offer higher bandwidth using DOCSIS 3.0. BSkyB have sufficient backhaul from the exchanges to remove bandwidth caps, and BT are building their 21 century network.

A combination of Virgin and BSkyB may provide sufficient competition to force BT to reduce the cost per bit, and increase bandwidth. There is no justification for BT's current prices.
The elephant in the room is FTTH.
