This Point Topic map shows the fibre-access deployments to which BT has committed itself.
The research firm has issued predictions of the extent of BT's NGA rollout, based on announcements made by BT Openreach.
According to these predictions, 7.4 percent of the UK population — or 4.52 million people — will be able to get fibre-based broadband access via BT's network by the end of 2010. By the end of 2011, that figure will be 16.3 percent, or 10 million people.
By the end of 2012, Point Topic estimates, 34.8 percent of the UK population, or 21,350,000 people, will be covered by BT's fibre rollout.
Talkback
Awful lot of grey and white in them there maps and seriously lacking in pink strips, obviously wireless broadband's is still some time away, but I would have thought that more company's would have put a little more emphasis on utilizing electricity pylons to deliver broader speeds to the populations.
Looks like the South West of Scotland is forgotten about again! Unless you stay in a major city, you will be waiting for years until you get fast connection. Oh well!
if i find anyone up my pathway they,ll get a size 9 up their JAXSEE
BT says the maps are incomplete because Point Topic doesn't know of certain planned rollouts - because BT hasn't announced them yet.

"Making the business case for NGA investment in areas of lower population density remains challenging,"
As usual the only real challenge is getting BT's purse strings to open up a bit more than usual.
