Story: BT ready to roll with 8Mbps ADSL

8Mbps from BT? I'm still waiting for them to do something to the rural lines so we can get better than 512kbps!

I note that many of the 'trials' have been in urban areas plus Cornwall and Glamorgan. It is the areas where subscribers are more remote from their 'local' exchange that need serious attention. A significant digital divide is opening wider - and that is dangerous.

Why can't we have ADSL2+ authorised and installed now instead of fiddling about with less capable systems?
