Why does it appear that it is being done in sections only around the south east area instead of each borough having equal portions of this investment

The number of people on broadband in the SE London area now is higher than it was a few months ago (fact) when people started commenting on here about leafleting and sales campaigns in the SE area advertising broadband (fact), which sounds very much like official communication from ntl to me.
Because that is where ntl have concentrated its efforts.

I anticipate a day where virtually all VCL customers can get cable broadband, but it certainly won't be by Christmas 2003. I deliberately don't comment on launch dates because I *don't* want to mislead, so don't accuse me of it.
So some people will never get it according to the above statement.

So, as you do not wish to give any launch dates, in fear of the members complaining that the date has passed and nothing has happened. When REALISTICALLY will myself, rippedoff and other posters likely to see these advertisements requiring us to call 0800 183 1010 to sign up for the new highspeed broadband service available in NTL cabled streets Replies in years will be sufficient, unless you want to comment on the possible month as well, but that may lead to the unrest in the camp which we want to avoid.
