Clive Akass writes in Personal Computer World that NTL is testing 100 Mbps connections to the home. NTL hopes to leverage the speed to broadcast broadband high definition TV.

Meanwhile, BT announced that faster broadband services, up to 8 Mbps, will be available starting March 31st. For the full 8 Mbps, BT says that people will have to be "living or working close to their local telephone exchange".
