Six areas in the UK will soon be trying out broadband technology that provides data at speeds approaching one gigabit per second (gbps).

Businesses, schools and hospitals will be the first to try out the "full fibre" network technology.

The pilots will be run in Aberdeenshire, West Sussex, Coventry and Warwickshire, Bristol, West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.

The government will spend about £10m getting the pilots up and running.

About bloody time. A shame it's going to cost far to much for the average household user

Greater Manchester you say? :D I wonder if that'll roll out to our little corner of it :)

Crazy to think that Gigabit speeds are going to be as fast as most wired internal networks :eek:.
