'Tough choices' for UK broadband

Hey guys.. Came accross this and just thought you all might want to have a wee read.
It is not specific to Virgin Media.. But Virgin Media are half the way there :P

Quote:
The cost of taking fibre-based broadband to every UK home could top £28.8bn, says a report.

Compiled by the government's broadband advisory group, the report details the cost of the different ways to wire the UK for next generation broadband.

Another option, to take the fibres to street-level boxes, would only cost £5.1bn, it said.

Big differences in the cost of updating urban and rural net access will pose difficult choices, says the report.
