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.

You couldnt be more wrong.
BT wanted to roll out fibre in the 90s, it was blair that said no to them, you can thank him for the fact we all get screwed over with our net now.
BT are in plans to rollout fibre all across the UK, thus why they was on the news today, if the 100mbit trial they are running now works out they are going to do a full roll out.
From what i hear they are thinking about working with H2o and doing it all through the sewers which would see the UK get fibre quite quickly.
