ironic seeing as one of the first cable offices was in Dudley!
That is the problem.. Because Dudley was built so long ago the build is such that the areas covered by each Broadband Pipe are massive. (4000 homes per node). So in order to split it down to something more sensible like 1000 or less they have to put new cabinets up and put fibre in the ground etc.. So it takes alot longer to upgrade Dudley than almost anywhere else.
