The cost of installing it made sense at Ebbsfleet Valley as it will likely be used for business and the Ebbsfleet International. BT has started by arranging plans for more fibre exchanges around major cities such as London. They will connect to each to form an internal fibre web. Imagine the failover plan if we just use fibre? mel x The expense of rolling out 100 mb fibre all over the UK would be too much to start to calulate.

And BT almost definetly will not roll out a nationwide cable network, depsite 21stCN. They got their network chopped up by Piss-Offcom once, it'd probably happen again. Why should any company invest in a big network only to see it get sold off to second-rate parasites like sodding Talk Talk? (In case you were wondering, I'm very much an ex-Talk Talk customer!)
