They do, kinda. They put "up to XXmb broadband".The keywords = "Up to", which means "If you live inside of the main gateway"

[Black Ant]

ooooooo yeeeeahive always seen that as they can offer you deals up to Xmblike a 2mb deal, 4mb deal etc

this is old news still, it crops up every now n then same old rip off britain stuff but nothing gets done.last yr the same bbc has a take on this.. comparing france, where you can get the whole sky type package, with HD (no box) and 24mb for the equiv of #32.00 while the same package here at that time with 8mb and the need to buy a HD box was #88.00 not including box. japan has speeds of 300mb, US has up 250 and i remember in germany back in 2000 when i went to see friends, they were talking about getting an upgrade to 4mb for their house. i keep hearing that the infrastructure is already in place in UK and can even handle up to terrabytes.. so BT needs to be investigated really.

Yeah they also put in small print "Speeds may vary due to distances from the exchange" stuff like that.

[Guest Durrty Boi]

certain countries have optical fibre, makin it faste, i think this year France are gonan be able to get close to 30mbnot even sure if the UK has thiseven cable is swag coz u have to share the connection, so if someone uses it bare others lose out

Nah, 'coz then I'd have caps/throttling.Mine's unrestricted now.I only pay ã10, it's not like i'm forking out a pinky each month.

The reason for the lack of speeds is down to space available underground. Trust me.If you live in a newly integrated cable area i.e. Chesterfield, you WILL see the speeds advertised.

[Guest Randy Orton]

there talking about skythe further you are from them the weaker your connection

This applies to all ADSL connections.
