Hi guys
I just found out my exchange (well, not strictly mine, I don't own it) will be one of the first BT fibre exchanges, with an estimated date of early 2010. Will IDNet be up to it by then?

I think you'd need to ask IDNet that one, Steve. :)
I may just do that. Hate the thought of having to leave IDNet - but I also hate the thought of 40Meg connection being available and not using it :)
I wonder what that 40 Meg will look like when channelled into a congested network. :dunno:
Watching the bandwidth for the month disappear in a day will be unfunny too!

I suppose it'll be much like it is now; there'll be good and bad BT-based ISPs, and there'll be good and bad LLU operators.
and no fibre for the people that live in the middle of nowhere till approx 2050 :rant2:

already planning to :whistle:
Speculating, when fibre becomes available, BT will launch a new range of products. I can't see IDNet not taking them up.
Just think Rik, No more aluminium and a faster connection. Trouble is the tme BT take to act we might not be around then but our grandchildren will benefit. ;D
That might be difficult in my case, Alf. :)
There'll still be some aluminium as it's only FTTC, but it won't matter nearly as much.
I'm copper from the cabinet. :)
Ah, even better. :)
For me fibre is simply a dream that won't be fulfilled in my lifetime. I'd settle for a decent length of copper between me and the village. It's only about a mile but I can't see that happening either.
