It's not just those who's exchanges have not yet been upgraded, but there are also a large proportion of people on enabled exchanges that cannot have Broadband - my self included.

I'm on the Loose (Kent) exchange, which has had broadband now for some 8 months now. However, because I'm outside the current range limit, I'm unable to get Broadband, so have to rely on ISDN-2e.

Although most of my work (Contracting) is onsite, I do work from home occassionally (like right now), but not having Broadband speeds/prices are affecting my business.

Currently when I do a backup of various servers I have to think about how long it will take at 128kps, and how much it's going to cost.
