BT have just issued a press release telling us they will be 'upgrading our exchange to fibre' soon. This is part of the BDUK roll-out in West Sussex.

It does seem as if reality has, however, dawned at County and BT as they are promising us 'up to 20mb' - now, why did I think that 'fibre' and BDUK were aiming for at least 24mb and where are my 80mb BT meteorites that should be landing in my garden..............?

Distinctly unimpressed as we are already on an 'up to 20mb' AFDSL2+ exchange - and will BT be in default on the contract through failing to provide 24mb+???

Mind you, the 'official' HMG line now is that the BDUK roll-out should provide broadband at a speed that "feels like 15mb"...you couldn't make it up, could you?
