Just Dolphin Square right? and that was meant to be a trial? and from what I heard a few years ago, a survey was done on the Virgin/NTL service there and the residents wanted to get shut of it as it isn't providing what they want, now that the Sky channels are back i'm sure feedback would be more positive considering the fact that most of the TV service for Dolphin Square is free not relating to Premium channels and Broadband.

You do know that City of Westminster is both a 'City' and a London Borough and that there is no 'Westminster' Borough right? I appreciate you want it upgrading but no need to list it twice

I would be very interested in your rationale for those other boroughs though. Why not Hammersmith and Fulham say?

I wouldn't touch Tower Hamlets with a barge pole, the corrupt council and mayor would probably be wanting kickbacks paid to the IFE.
City Of Westminster and City of London are just London boroughs like all the rest of them nowadays, they no longer classify as cities of there own, historically they are called cities because of there past and originally they were two seperate cities, all 32 boroughs including City of westminster and City of London(Corporation of London) form part of Greater London which is the city itself.

Hammersmith and Fulham has nothing to it.

Tower Hamlets does, part of the docklands forms part of it as well as the city centre, towns such as Whitechapel and like I said the path to the isle of Dogs. Tower Hamlets is still mostly Central London, What is in Hammersmith and fulham?

In addition, town centres, like Uxbridge,Kingston,Richmond,Hammersmith,Ealing Broadway,Southall,Walthamstow,Barnet,North Finchley,Finchley Central,Archway,Edgware,Waltham Cross,Enfield Town,Hackney Central,Greenwich,Plumstead and Bromley Town centre should also be included.

Eventually from there over time, they could complete the areas that aren't covered and eventually have a 95% Wifi coverage across the UK just like mobile network coverage.
