At some point someone in the uk is going to have to bite their tongue and invest in fiber, wimax isnt an answer copper certianly isnt an answer, they all far less capable then fiber. For whatever reason it may be noone seems willing to go it with fiber in the uk yet its progressing in other developed countries.
