no old houses and dont get confused with digital tv. I know that isnt happening.

its an analogue area. Ntl can make analogue areas support broadband but I dont know what they have to do it make it work.

I was told by an ntl engineer it was going to happen early 2006 and they even did another part of an area near to her so her area was next. But a few months later it still hasnt happened and my sister was given that reason.

Cables/fibers do need replacing in some areas (planning permission etc can take a long time to get), but not all. Another reason IMPO was that when the uprgrades were been done, it was causing more problems than it fixed as in outages etc.
interesting thanks, that would make sense.
