UK Online provides super-fast broadband

UK Online has become the first UK Internet provider to offer super-fast broadband across the UK, providing ADSL2+ technology with speeds of up to 22Mbps. The speed, of course, depends on how far someone lives from a telephone exchange, and also on the quality of their phone line, but this is quite a boost to be sure!

"While some customers will get 22Mbps or even more, up to 24Mbps, the quality of their phone line and distance from the exchange will dictate their maximum speed," said general manager Chris Stening.

The service should be available to around 4.4m homes in urban areas across the UK, with expanded coverage in the pipeline.
