It's relative, most people in this country are probably on 2-4mbit download and .5 upload if that, so to them it is a huge improvement assuming they can get cable and will take the package.
As for BT and fibre, give it another 20 years and you might see the country fibred up assuming the goverment gives BT our taxes. They've never shown any interest in wide-scale deployment, doing a few showcases here and there is meaningless. Up till then cable is my only option for anything faster than 4mbit which is what I'd get with BT's current underinvested infrasture. It's a pity BT was privatised since I'm sure if it wasn't we'd be keeping up with the Swedes and Japanese.
