I'm getting Sky Fibre broadband this week... Basically mega fast internet (for my area anyway).

My current download speed is 4mb/s so I cannot wait.

Anyone else on here got it?

Not 2011, just the UK in general.
A lot of areas still have shit internet and these companies are only upgrading now.

Yeah I've got Sky Fibre, upgraded a few months ago, was about 3-4mb the same as you.

I'm getting around 60down and 18up, pretty decent.

It literally depends on where you live. I'm guessing OP lives in a rural area.
But Sky and Virgin Media in the UK are slowly making high speeds available to everyone.

I live close to London and getting speeds of 40/mbps download which isn't too bad!

The UK does have pretty terrible Internet, I'm lucky to have 150mb with Virgin Media. Had to cancel some of my TV packages to be able to afford it though lol.
