Think yourself lucky if you can get broadband at all. I live in a northern industrial town in the middle of the Manchester Liverpool connerbation and I can't even get 1mg broadband. Am having to return my Free modem to my ISP. Reason given is that I am too far from local exchange and BT consider it too expensive to upgrade it.
So I have to put up with a dial-up service at same price as others who get broadband and also the inconvenience of the phone being tied up by it.
Come on BT get off your backside and give us the service we need.

Could it be that ISP’s are making this out to be a bigger problem than it actually is?

Surely things should even themselves up.
