JamesIf you're on a long line direct to the exchange then it may be possible that BT could re-route lines to a cabinet and then provide FTTC.And those who are on a cabinet near to an exchange still may get FTTC on short connections from the premises to the cabinet will offer something like 40MBit download speeds.Maybe BT might also look at putting VDSL kit in exchanges for those short lines which are connected directly to the exchange.Hang on though... this is BT we're talking about... it could take years.
There were some promising noises being made on The Regsiter today regarding BT & The Olympics - that's just over 2 years away... But I suspect, like everything, they'll do the profit making cities first and leave the rural areas to last... I doubt my exchange will ever get LLU (not that I personally want it), and it doesn't even have a WBC upgrade date set yet, although they have a 21CN PSTN date set for Q1 2010... (and I thought they'd put all the voice stuff on hold?)
