Re: Fibre to the premises not copper?
The one that bugs me is the lack of a well thought through FTTPoD service. It'd be nice if I could save the cost of a few thousand pints, and have my existing copper last mile replaced by an FTTP service, where the FTTP speed was exactly the same as the max sync speed my old copper service permitted.
Thus, if I'm paying the monthly fees for ADSL2+, offer me 24/1 FTTP at the same monthly price as ADSL2+, as long as I pay the full cost (anything from thousands if I'm served by an FTTC cab, to hundreds of thousands if I'm on a 10 km exchange only line) to have the FTTP installed. If I'm paying for FTTC 80/20, give me 80/20 FTTP.
Then BT gets revenue to help fund the transition, and has a silencer for people who complain (you *can* get 330/30 if you're willing to pay capex. Or 80/20 at the same price as everyone else pays, or a stable 24/1, or...)
