Good grief...looks like my exchange is on the list! I don't suppose there's any word on pricing?

@Beaky69 - congrats and not a chance! (I'd wager circa £40/50pm though)

So BT comes lumbering along to the party, late as usual. At my exchange I can have BT 'Option 3, up to 8Mbps, unlimited' for around £24 or I can have BeThere 'up to 24Mb, unlimited' for a couple of quid less. Oooh, tricky one. Maybe in 5 years time when BT get around to doing the south east of the UK, and introduce competitive pricing, then I'll reconsider.

BT are clearly in no mood to rush this. OFCOM are being incredibly irritating - we've got a telecoms monopoly, so either give them what they want or break them up. Don't leave this stale regulatory (read consensual monopoly) framework hanging around restricting progress.

Surely, speed is one thing, but it's what the bandwidth costs thats the issue. It's all very well streaming data up/down at 40mbit/s when your data allowance is used up in the first day of the month! ISP's are already moaning about bandwidth ( - bless 'em don't no why they choose to be in the data business!) from BBC iplayer et al, what's the 'opportunity' of 40Mbit going to do to them LOL.

I moved to Be from BT over a year ago, thank god and been enjoying uber ADSL2+ all that time. Companies like Be really show up BT for the sluggish, out of date organisation it is. BT, stop wasting time in 'strategy meetings' and just get stuff done!

Too little to late... By the time this service is main stream every other high speed service will have moved on. Time to breakup this monopoly.

Maybe I'm a little green cos I'm not on the list.

Instead of chasing headlines by activating a few exchanges with super-quick broadband BT should concentrate on the millions stuck with their lousy super-slow rubbish. Upgrading their ancient exhanges so everybody can have decent speed should be their priority.
