Edd Dawson, managing director of advice resource broadband.co.uk, said the technology, which offers download speeds of up to 40 Mbps, should be considered 'evolution rather than revolution' as consumers can already receive high-speed access through rivals such as Virgin Media.
The expert claimed that Infinity's main advantage is its download and upload speeds and said industries such as graphic design and video are likely to experience the most benefit.
Mr Dawson also suggested that the UK is ready for the roll-out of next-generation internet, explaining: 'As people consume more and more rich media via their broadband connection speed becomes their top priority.'
He added that while the spread of high-speed broadband is good for the UK, the country is still lagging behind the infrastructure used in South Korea.
Recent research on broadband speeds found that the UK's average connection is 3.4 Mps, placing it 34th in worldwide league tables.
