Broadband users who are fed up with the slow speeds from their provider but have been told their existing copper telephone line can't deliver a faster service may be in for a pleasant surprise, thanks to a revolutionary new mathematical formula.

Australian PhD graduate John Papandriopoulos claims to have has invented a way to turbo-charge current ADSL broadband speeds, enabling speeds of up to 200 times faster.

The system uses new algorithms reduce the effect that cross chatter has on internet streams that share the same physical copper telephone line.

According to Dr Papandriopoulos, his new algorithm could offer broadband speeds of up to an impressive 250Mbps on existing telecoms infrastructure. This would be ideal, given the UK's current state of broadband. The majority of broadband users receive less than half the broadband speed advertised as "up to 8Mbps".

Using these algorithms dramatically increased download speeds, allowing broadband users the ability to download data at a rate of roughly 30Mbps. A practical example of this new speed is that you using it would allow a full-length DVD movie to be downloaded in less than three minutes.

Dr Papandriopoulos is currently applying for patents in both the US and his native Australia to implement the new algorithms into worldwide broadband internet servers. If all goes well, his invention may well become one of the hottest properties amongst broadband service providers.

Not only would this improve broadband at a world scale but would also save billions. BT are currently in developments of BT21CN (BT 21st Century Networks) which would consist of installing fibre optics to improve broadband speeds to up to 24Mbps at a cost of 10bn.

If this algorithm was to be implemented into the current network then BT would not require upgrading just yet as in theory the speeds would achieve significantly higher speeds without the need for fibre optics.

Britain is in much need of broadband improvement and Dr John Papandriopoulos may just have our answer.

If you are interested in taking advantage of current broadband internet technology then you should compare many cheap broadband providers available in your area.
