The letter is very one sided, you don't have fibre optic to house, so this presents a big issue to the claims they make.

You are one of those fooled by the PR surrounding BTs 21CN, its all core network stuff and the local loop will remain the same with the same limitations, sure adsl2+ will be rolled out but the max speeds on that are 24 mbit (realistically 16mbit, BE got done by the ASA yesterday) and most with longer lines will get the same performance they get now pre 21CN.
A few associated with BT have said local loop investment will follow but this is just speculation at this time and even if true its still years away for many people with some areas not getting 21CN until 2011.
