Re: BT To Invest £1.5 Billion Into Fibre Optic Broadband
VM don't seem interested in that option. Just upgrading their existing network to DOCSIS 3 to handle 50mb.

The Government/OFCOM have said to BT they will offer incentives/guarantee shareholder returns if BT and other companies invest in fibre. Although nothing in writing yet...

With H20 laying fibre in Bournemouth's and Dundee's sewers over the next two years with possibly more cities to come. And according to the Mail on Sunday, even Sky are experimenting with fibre, VM may find themselves in five years time with some real competition in the fast broadband arena.

(I know many people get fast broadband now from companies such as Be, but you have to live right next to a BT exchange to get those kind of speeds)
