Story: BT satellite broadband gets cool reception
Posted by: Anonymous (Tuesday 13 July 2004, 12:17 PM)
I live near an enabled Broadband exchange. Every on-line broadband checker tells me I should be able to receive Broadband (even BTs). BT however tell me that I'm on 'fibre' and consequently current ADSL technology is not supported.
They then told me that they were going to give me an copper overlay, only to be told at the last minute (after I'd received confirmation and a modem) by the engineer that there wasn't enough connections at the exchange to install another twisted copper pair.
I then read an article that BT are aiming for 99.6% ADSL coverage by summer 2005. I can't see BT upgrading the exchange to cater for myself and some 100 other homes in the area. So consequently, I see myself as one of the .4% this time next year but I certainly won't be buying a satellite solution from BT at the price quoted.
