Beware local monopolies. My area is served by Virgin (ex Cable & Wireless/NTL ) with fibre to the cabinet. Their service was so bad I got my BT copper line reinstated. I fear that I will never get a fast fibre service because no one will put in more fibre where it already exists. Just as BT has been forced to allow others to sell services over their wires, cable companies should have similar obligations so that customers can have alternatives.
