In the UK, no less.

Seems like only yesterday I was laughing at my siblings in England who still had to use dial-up for Internet access.

While I'm waiting for SBC to perfect Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP), and currently plod along at 1.5 to 3mbps, Londoners have zipped by.

Correction: they've rocketed by!

With the designation of fiver as data services by the FCC, I hope telcos shake off the sloth and move faster.
