According to BT I can already get it BUT
I currently get 17MB from Sky - BT on there FIBRE OPTIC Line rubbish-scam-con-website are offering me a top speed of 14MB :S
So why would I leave a sky service (Which is not fibre optic) when it offers me a faster speed that BTs 'Fibre Optic' service. And we all know the fibre optic is a pile of rubbish. The line to your house is still the same old copper strip.
When I get a fibre optic cable going straight to my door then ill be interested. And also Ill only be interested when there new 'High Tech Fast Speed Fibre Optic Service' is actually faster than my current 'old-gen' internet.

you are extremely lucky... I live very close to a major town centre but on either a BT resold "up to 20Mb" connection, or on an LLU "up to 24Mb" connection I get around 4.5 - 6Mb max... BT FTTC estimate is 18.5Mb, so for me that would be a major upgrade... of course the fact that I'd have to pay 3 times the price of what you are paying for your 17Mb connection is somewhat annoying...
Im not saying it wont benefit people that dont usually get high speeds. Its just annoying that they are trying to say fibre optic is the best etc but it will give me a slower speed than what I already have which isnt fibre optic!
I guess I just want them to cut the bull! For a change.

I think this Bt competition is abit stupid IMO. All companies seek profit and therefore will go where the greatest demand for their product is. So I'm sure that the number crunchers at BT have a theoretical top 10 of places chart, of where they want to rollout there products and I bet they included places of high density of people.
AND
If this competition is judged on the number of people that want there area connected they will win. So where is the point of Joe Blobbs that lives in a village of 500 people entering this competitor as getting their local community to sign up, as there is no way they will win.
I think it is a PR stunt and that it is only helping BT refined there definative "top 10 list" they already have.
Rant over
I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.
Reported. Nuff said.
