That test was unrealistic also. All of a sudden it was 1 third of the way done, then it was completed?

BT are proving 100mbit through FTTH (fibre to the house, or mdu, depends how you look at it) not through copper on all(well almost) new builds from now on.
BT wanted to roll out fibre across the country quite a few years back but the govt wouldnt let them unless they opened it up to everyone, what's the point in spending 12 billion if ur not gonna see profit from it because everyone gets access?
But they are now starting to change their mind, somewhat.
If BT rolls fibre out, it will take a LONG time to get the whole country done.
But with H2o,BT,Ask4 doing fibre, if they decide to really get going then VM would be in trouble.
