... And in my case, my exchange isn't even enabled for the 24Mb service I'm paying for. The hardware supports 8Mb max, yet BT sells me the same service plan at the same price as someone in the city centre who lives next door to an exchange enabled for 24Mb. And this is all perfectly legal and the regulator has nothing to say on the subject, despite the fact that those of us living in rural areas are still effectively dealing with a monopoly provider, precisely the sort or thing an industry regulator is designed to deal with.
