[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1023433, member: 199791"] BT are still far, far behind the times though, the FTTC (or VDSL) is still just a cop-out, yes it delivers "up-to" 80Mbps on the higher packages, but, considering that places in Canada and the US where telecoms monopolies are worse (and more profiteering), they have fibre to the premises surpassing 1Gbps speeds, and have had it for years, but one of the past BT execs was once heard to say "Nobody needs fibreoptic broadband", and they've stuck to that... With BT separating out Openreach into it's own entity (though that's like saying Plusnet is it's own company, when BT own it outright), things may be run differently, but, 10Mbps for everyone by 2020? That goal is old-hat, it should have been for for 2010, 1Gbps should be the upper 2020 target and 100Mbps the absolute bare minimum, given the way the internet is changing, connections to it need to evolve with it, not be kept in the slow lane 'til a government body steps in to force them to upgrade...
