comparing us to sweeden seems a bit unfair BT has a hell of a job to upgrade all the wires they have been down for years no one knew what the internet was at the time, the sweedish on the other hand have about 9 million people in a huge country and the population is gathered around the main cities (there are people in sweeden who dont have the internet you know) when the sweedish build a new building they put in the nice fast cables and even do a proper job with the insulation so u just have to breath once and its warm for a year
Also the sweedish Govt spends a lot of sweedish/euro's each year getting everyone on broadband thats why its so cheap from the ISPs they get the money of the Govt....
anyway i think its a bit old fashioned to think about internet as wired these days give it a few years and you will have the super fast broadband you want through a wireless service - has to be easier than laying all the damn wires all round the country ... just need that stupid eminister to get it sorted and hopefully at the same time sort out some HDTV for us
