BT Openreach says it will offer lucky customers in the Ebbsfleet Valley development in Kent the chance of 100Mbps broadband.

From August they will be trialling the service to some of the 10,000 new homes being built on the development, which is the first in the UK to install last-mile fibre optic cable connections to all new residences in order to gauge public demand.
Actual prices which the consumer will have to pay have not been released by providers involved with the trial, but wholesale prices to those ISPs have been released, being £8.33 per month for a basic connection, rising to £44 a month for the 100Mbps connection.

The question is that if there is a large take-up will BT change it's course, and provide fibre rather than continue with it's 21CN deployment based on copper, which gives a maximum of 22Mbps. BT has previously held back on fibre stating that the financial benefits to itself are uncertain due to the huge outlay involved in an all fibre infrastructure.
