It is spent where and when it's needed, and it is not needed anywhere on the Virgin network, as that network is already capable of far in excess of 2 meg.

too rite its unfair if your not happy with your speed then u pay BT for your line to be upgraded why should we have to pay.
i dont see this as a goverment helping the have not's in the internet world i see it as the goverment finding another way of taxing us to pay for their bank bailout fiasco.
how is £6 a year from every house that has a fixed line going to help thats no where near enough plus if it was to be true the goverment wouldn't give the full £6 towards the fund they would prob give £4 of it to the fund.
