Here is a reply I have received to day from London Customer Mgmt Team and it conflicts with what has been said previously.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your e mail regarding Broadband availability.

It is with regret that I inform you that this service is still not available
in your postcode. As you may be aware, you live in the ex-Videotron area of
London which is the oldest cabled area. Major construction work is necessary to upgrade the cabling network to support this service. This work would involve digging up most of the busiest highways of inner London. We do not currently have a date, even an estimation, of when this will be available.

Please be aware that all of our services are subject to availability.

I am sorry that my response cannot be a more favourable one.

So we do have to wait for ntlvan man with a shovel and spade.
