It was still slow, have you tried the BBC speed test ? jumped straights to 2MB/s here.

Really.... just curious but where the did you hear that ??? BT have been saying for years they will not do it as they will have to pass it on to the competition and it costs too much. They even said so on the report.[/QUOTE]

I thought everyone who was around in the late 80s/early 90s knew about this? from what i can recall it was on the news, the govt said no due to finding it too expensive to dig up roads/lay new cable and didnt want to spend our taxes on it!

After that they wouldnt roll fibre out of their own pocket because they would be forced to open it up to other companies thus wasting their money.

Again, as i said, they are trialling 100mbit right now on all new builds, if successful they -will- roll out fibre if people want it.
