VM should be looking to do FTTH instead of just lying about providing "fibre optic broadband". Still, I suppose they think they are allowed one big fib because BT are allowed to sell you "up to" 24Mb. Guess what, I have "up to" £1,000,000 in my pocket and shall be paying you "up to" £35 for internet service, sounds good?

Fujitsu should lay FTTH everywhere as they offered to. BT and VM have failed to provide fast broadband in a timely manner. I remember using 100/100 FTTH in Japan back in 2004 and it cost about £20/month. I am not optimistic that we will see 100/100 by 2014 in time to be only a decade behind. Plus we still have unreasonable throttling and download limited on "unlimited" products.

BT's 100Mb service will no doubt be pathetic as it will be plagued by their standard traffic retarding and interference, combined with their legendary lack of interest in diagnosing and fixing faults.
