Re: BT To Invest £1.5 Billion Into Fibre Optic Broadband

BT also want VM to be made to wholesale their services so in other words open their network, time will tell if this happens there is a lot of ex cable people on the ofcom board.

On 3 different forums now tho this has been misunderstood as a FTTH rollout, in reality its a FTTC rollout with FTTH on new builds. It will massively improve BTs local loop but BT say the top end speed on the FTTC will be 40mbit.

VMs problem will be tho that BT have lots of isps reselling their services, BT dont generally charge more for higher burst speed so dont be surprised to see dirt cheap 40mbit packages on vdsl and that BT wholesale have much more backhaul capacity then VM
