I guess that highlights what a mockery BT have made of the product! It costs more to put the line a short distance into your house than the global gigabits of lines circling the earth! Good example.

re the BT mockery - to be fair to BT (yes I do try and be fair to them as well as critisie) a transalantic cable, though expenbsive to lay is a 'single' wire. The local loops into peoples houses represent millions of 'wires'. It may seem counter intuative but actualy local distribution is more expensive then trunk route carriage.
