Bournemouth boggers get faster connection
BRITAIN'S ANSWER TO MIAMI, Bournemouth, is to get the country's first network of super fast Interweb connections.
The Dorset seaside town, where many of the UK's old folk are sent to trudge through their declining years wearing weary grins and plastic raincoats, will soon have the best Internet connections the nation has to offer in the form of ultra high bandwidth fibre optic cable which will run through the town's sewer system.
The cabling company H20, which has been providing fat pipes to businesses and universities throughout the UK for some years now, is planning to roll out a nationwide network in the future.
The obvious benefits of using an existing underground system are that roads don't need to be dug up to provide connections and that pretty much every dwelling in the UK has some sort of link to the waste system.
This first foray into the sewers will bring up to 100Mbps into 88,000 homes and will start to bring the UK into line with the rest of mainland Europe where speeds between 50 and 100Mbps are common.
The UK has 360,000 miles of sewers and, as we all know, the internet is already full of crap. µ

..it's a compromise between 'a series of tubes' and a 'DUMP truck'?

Made me LoL at work and get odd looks from colleagues :)
Any fool can see that's just a picture of a cat5 cable you've chucked in the bog, not fibre.

For that you need a whole wheat breakfast cereal.
this prank has already been tried by google and even then they did the joke much better
would be the one with thousands of young rich students, hordes of foreign students and a big banking sector presence. We just let you London-types believe its full of old farts to keep your great unwashed off our beach and out of our clubs. 

So we'll be the ones with uberfast connections, you slog on with your crappy ADSL
We posted from the past!
