September will be here before we know it, August 7th and counting

As the "Bloke in the Pub" said, way back, the upgrade is intended to please everyone, LOL, a tall order.

"Bloke in the Pub" has just phoned, appears that this is just a stop gap, designed to increase revenue so that work can begin on updating the system to 100Mb/s Ethernet, as is already being rolled out in some areas of the US on trial. Of course, all this isn't being done for the primary benefit of the BB user, the aim is to have a massive VOD selection which ADSL cannot hope to come close to, TV is where the big money is going to come from in the future.
