Re: Cable network expansions
I've often asked why they've not cabled down to Lowestoft, when Great Yarmouth 10 miles up the road has it. Expense is one reason, demand another. There's no competition among cable providers now Virgin Media or ntl:telewest has the monopoly. But among ADSL providers, there's plenty of opposition. It's why cable's losing the fight to ADSL, with regard to internet. Sure, they provide cracking download speeds, but to throttle the upload so much to allow provision for STM and other services provided on the same line cripples the service.

Let's face it. Cable's a dying breed. The sooner it dies, the sooner we can move on to ADSL/SDSL upgrades.
