Seriously though it's good to see BT making this sort of move, concentrating on providing good modern infrastructure, to enable everyone to take advantage. Be interesting to see if the cable cos can match this move after all as their networks were built more recently than BTs they should have had the advantage.
Indeed the cost of fibre to the home for a cable co must be magnitudes smaller than for BT as the duct network is in place.

BT are talking about it for new build only.
