BT subsidiary Openreach, the wholesale broadband arm of the telecoms company, has confirmed that the 110Mbit/s service will become part of its 'Generic Ethernet Access Fibre To The Premises (GEA-FTTP) portfolio in March 2011. If you're one of the few Britons who's managed to get access to BT's 100Mbit/s service by the time the new speed is added to BT's product portfolio - and there won't be many - we doubt you'll really notice the difference those extra megabits might make, particularly since BT's weasel-worded announcement throws in a fairly hefty caveat.
