Oh no, not that old chestnut again
I remember arguing about the use of NNTP for binary distribution at least 5 years ago, when 512k was considered fast. The costs for the provider were massive then and still are now. Its just too inefficient and wasteful a distribution method...

OK, I'll double.
Can't see BT rolling out fibre to more than the most selective city centre locations (LLU coverage as of 12 months ago) for at least a decade. They don't have fibre anywhere NEAR the customer. Telewest and NTL have fibre within 500metres of 40% of the UK population already. I think that gives them a good base to start from!

Oops, just noticed my dodgy quoting in that last post. The first line of the reply somehow became the quote
