BT spent billions on that beastie. The cost of their upgrades and refurbishments by the time all was said and doesn't wasn't all that far from rebuilding a brand new network.
It was a cashcow for the government, very little investment in the telephony network at all came from them.

Oh the wonder of hindsight ! I'm sure if BT could have foreseen the problems they did have (and some of the dodgy kit that has been used in exchanges) I bet they wished they could have rebuilt a new network.

So 8meg for under £25 with a cap higher then what I have now not bad going.

Trust me, the move to Nildram (should you make it) will be a good decision. It's the best ISP I've had, by a country mile. It's nice to see an ISP that doesn't rest on it's laurels, and is at the forefront of moving technology. I have an ex girlfriend, and her parents, and a friend of hers who are still with Nildram (recommended by me of course
) and cannot fault the service. Personally I can't wait for LLU to arrive, as my local exchange simply can't cut it, as far as I'm concerned, hopefully Nildram's equipment can.
