Ntl (or predecessors) have racked up huge debts laying cable to less than half the UK; imagine the costs of relaying cable to every home in the UK? it aint gonna be cheap and BT aint gonna do it anytime soon.
They will let us use a substandard service at high prices for amy years to come, until it is an absolute necessity to replace it.
