yup indeed - there will be cherry picking. probably exchanges with a high number of lines in densely populated areas will be the priority.

For instance, in unbundled areas Bulldog offers 4Meg connections. Everywhere is is limited to 2 Meg. Even assuming you live in an unbundled area, there is a chance your line won't take the increased speeds.

that's right and if bulldog have unbundled an exchange that might put off another unbundler from doing that exchange. which might be very annoying if you're after 8meg from ukonline but buldog only do upto 4meg. and then as you say... only those near to the exchange will get the high speeds (until the technology has another breakthrough).
