hi,

true competition for BT is the solution, this is made hard though when so many government bodies such as councils view BT as a public service, not a Private company.

BT appears to have a very agressive approach to competition as well which ultimately will backfire as Voice over IP and wireless radio/optical network providers keep evolving ever better solutions and eventually break the BT protection racket.

BT only have control over the consumer with its infrastructure of wires and the pointless "line rental".

They could do with co-operating with other providers instead of playing slow monopoly.

announcing a 2Mbps service trial is a prime example, 2Mbps has been available from ISPs for a very long time via the BT wholesale ADSL product.

Why announce it as if its something new and unique?
