Bad luck for everyone else. Mutter, mutter, grumble....

And how about bringing fibre or even just giving me closer to 8Mbps in central London?..8Mbps line, yet 2Mbps is the fastest it goes......and they refuse to acknowledge a problem 750metres from the exchange....good luck Wales - I just hope BT have the expertise to get it running properly. Good news is that if it doesn't, BT will simply refuse to acknowledge a problem and not fix it.

Christ alsenior beat The Animus to it!

I happen to live in an area of Cardiff which has 'decent' BB. Currently on Virgin 60meg, but that's about the only fast option in my area. There are a surprising amount of coders etc around here, so this can only be a good thing for computing in general in our area! It will be a shame not being able to mock my chums up in the hills still on 1 meg connections though.

How about coming round my area next BT?

I've been stuck with a sub 0.5Mb connection for the last few weeks, and the ping times were atrocious. At one point it took nearly 5 minutes to get Google to load. Only yesterday did it speed up to 1.2Mb and even at that speed we still get drop outs.

Honestly, it's a complete joke when in 2012 your "broadband" connection struggles to load Google.

(Quote Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones said of the newly agreed project; “It’ll mean by the end of 2015, 96 per cent of homes)

Yes the words of another over paid corrupt politician holds great meaning for us welsh people one day I may even have more than 40-50kb download speeds or maybe even my grand children will.
