You may want to look into ATM connections, providers in the uk are just
starting to offer consumer ATM connections. Also, if you have a large
amount of free bandwidth on your fibre, you can get upto 622Mbps, however
that is a little extreme and very expensive. The standard rate for and ATM
connection is 1.55Mbps IIRC.
