H2O Networks to provide 100 meg internet access
H2O Networks, a Welsh-based company are reportedly in talks with Bournemouth, Dundee and Northampton about laying fibre in the sewage network.
The company has plans to lay fibre wire in the sewers of towns to provide residents with high-speed internet access anywhere in the town.
Fibrecity would offer people 100 MB access, which is well over ten times what the leading UK broadband provider offers.
Fibrewire will offer inner city WiFi access. It also means new homes will benefit from PC TV (100meg connectivity) using fibre to the home (FTTH), while existing homes will see 100meg connectivity by using a mix of Wimax and fibre.
According to the BBC, leading broadband company, BT, last month announced that its own home fibre trial in Kent would be completed by 2009 but will initially be limited to around 600 new houses.
The development will eventually have some 10,000 homes connected via fibre with speeds of up to 100Mbps but the project will take until 2020 to complete.

Cable is dead. Why invest in laying cable to the door when you can go faster than 100Mbit wirelessly? Use the existing cable infrastructure to give you the backbone and then do the last hop over air. Saves soooo much money and alows for far faster deployment.
Mark my words - Cable will be dead within the next 3 years.
