Still even if they do get it working we wont see it for another 5 years + because bt dont want todo it and cable co's cant afford todo it.

when will they realise that we're not such an island anymore we do know whats going on in the rest of the world so selling us stuff that 'new' and 'state of the art' even though its quite blatently not wont work anymore *grr*

Fibre will work it just needs effort and government backing. The uk network needs to be unified and updated, we need 1 fast system that would put the scandanvians to shame !

I can think why the Goverment won't do it in one word.MONEY!
Followed by several other words like,NHS funding,education funding,Defence budget,transport,benifits system.All these are underfunded so finding the money,so we can get a faster connection to the internet is never going to be the top priority for any government.
