I live in the sticks in the east midlands and stuck to a snails pace 512mbs. This sounds ideal and I bet hundreds of times cheater than laying fiber everywhere. I still think it will be years until I get access to speeds over 2mb at least ......

512mbs?? That's nothing to moan about

I used to live two miles down a small lane in the West Midlands, and it was exactly the same. I think we managed a top speed of 125 kilobytes/s...on a good day. My old man phoned up BT once and asked if they were ever planning on upgrading the wires. They actually laughed.

Agreed, super-wifi does seem like an excellent plan for rural communities, though.

125Kb/s?? I'd actually wet myself if I got that, on average I get about 90Kb/s, on a good day its more like 104Kb/s.

I live in London, Zone 3, around 800m from the exchange yet theres 3.5km of cable to the exchange from my house, think they should sort out London before anywhere else gets fibre optic cable.

Not interested in that new fangled Super WiFi, but I can appreciate the impact it'll have in some sectors.

Why?
What makes londoners so special they deserve special treatment?

Aye, London should be way down on the priority list.

Simply because its the capital city, tourists come mainly to London, I live in London, it'd make more finacial sense given how densely packed properties etc are to eachother...to name but a few reasons, that said, I was mainly pointing my statement at developing the tele-communications of rural areas...
