ComputerKing will be pleased, seeing as he should benefit from better latencies to bit-tech as a result

No. It means they can do the updations to your bank account and the needful to your broadband faster... i.e., ruin it quicker

Yes, lets be truthful about this. It's got nothing to do with improving internet connectivity of the countries involved, and everything to do improving connections between call centres in India and the UK.

Yay, all those companies that have not got a india call centre yet will have soon. Enjoy the last remaining UK call centres will you can, because they will be missed.

None of those countries are likely to provide porn sites, so why bother with all that speed? its wasted i tell you

If India can do it why can't we??? We are richer after all and probably have the 2nd largest telephone communication company in the world. I did say probably :P
