Fibre for all ?

BT are shouting about their fibre roll out, great, but, all the areas getting FTTC are pretty well covered by Virgin Media with their so called 'Fibre Broadband' I will pull that apart another time.

So, do BT want to install FTTC just to compete with VM ? If so why ?


How about doing something about those rural areas covered by Market 1 exchanges ?.

Lots of shouting about investment in rural business, but unless these areas get connected, no chance of any firms wanting to be outside the town centres.

Lots of rural exchanges have aging copper cables to the local cabinets, why not replace this with fibre now ?, it's cheaper in the long run.
