Shaun yeah but BT recently seem just concerned about low prices, logically a Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1 on line rental to everyone would certianly help pay for it but they dont want to upset people who are price sensitive to a Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1 increase and who wouldnt see a benefit from FTTC. Fibre in the last mile doesnt really increase their headline speeds which is what the adsl2+ will do it just improves the performance and stability for the 75% who dont have great lines.

FTTH isnt going to happen for a while FTTC would be the next step, another obstacle of course is LLU, ofcom wont like the situation LLU providers will be left in following a FTTC rollout.
