Faster Internet Service? Does This Exist?

Is there any service where you can pay a monthly fee to connect to a super fast internet service?...like maybe thru some super server or computer system?....I am currently with BT but don't qualify for infinity and would pay for a super high speed facility if such a thing existed?

    Virgin media is really your only other bet.

    Technically you can get a leased line as well, however these are business lines and are only really even remotely affordable when you can convince a good number of your neighbours to share.
  • Check your exchange with Samknows - there might be a LLU operator like Sky who have their own equipment in the exchange, which might give you a faster speed than BT or any other ISP that simply resells BT.

    However if the problem is your distance from the exchange then your only option is to bypass the 'last mile' by going
    - Virgin Cable
    - wireless access like WiMax
    - satellite broadband
    - leased line (mega expensive)
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
