This thread is interesting. |
I was aware of FTTP trials a few years ago, but ISPreview are saying several different things have started in the last few weeks. Interesting indeed.
But for those of us who have the "bog standard" cable tv network, we mustn't delude ourselves that VM will come along and rip everything out and install FTTP instead, because they won't. Plenty of sweat to get out of the existing assets first...
