Do believe BT are spending it!!! Its called 21C (21st Century Network) MetNet to NTL bods (Owned by BT???? So I hear)
BT plan to run ethernet to the home, cheaper than Fibre, and safer! 100m BB, TV VoIP etc
NTL's network also has restrictions, not least the amount of maintenance the HFC network requires, saying that BT et all only offer "Narrow Band" with compression, NTL:Telewest offer true "Broadband"
To keep up with the "Jones's" NTL:TW have to make a decsion very soon, either upgrade the HFC network, or Upgrade the Telco Network and do Ethernet to the home. Either way we have to spend ££Ã ¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ã‚£ ££

Thats why BT are building 21C, so they can cut loose from the "copper" exchanges, and the LLU boys can fight over the bones!!!!
