Whats does Bt infinity run on?
It's a fibre optical connection from the exchange to the cabinet at the end of your road with copper from your house to that cabinet. This gives up to 76Mbit/sec download and up to 19 Mbit/sec Upload, depending on your package. It uses the Home Hub plus a new modem.
A super-fast option (GPON) requires fibre layed to your house from the cabinet and gives up to 300 Mbits/sec download. This uses a different modem and your PC would require an ethernet connection to the hub and a gigabit-ready ethernet card in the PC.
A mega-fast option (XGPON) is being trialled in Cornwall at 10Gbit/sec !! (10,000 Mbit/sec)

You can get a fibre to your home version of infinity rated at around 100Megs, but this is only being trialled in some areas. This uses a different modem then a home hub 3.

Got a free Humax YouView PVR box thrown in as well which swung it for me as I was going to buy one anyhow.
