- How long before 100Mbit connections UK wide ?

100Mbit is your standard speed in Korea so how long before it's standard
here ?

making it hard for anything to progress. BT don't help either, farting
around with things like Max ADSL instead of getting on with ADSL2. What a
joke this country is. Oh and not to mention the UK ISP luaghing stock, who
expect everyone with a 2mbit connection to just check their email twice a
day or otherwise get a fair use policy warning for over use of the
connection !
Its a long time off with this country's attitude to technology.

That's anyones guess. It all depends on when BT or other companies start
laying fibre into homes (FTTH). In major urban areas this probably is not
too long away next 5-10 years or so. But it's going to be a very long time
(if ever) other areas outside cities are going to see these speeds!

It would be nice to be able to get 1Mbit despite only living 3.1km from the
exchange

Not a very realistic comparison. A very large percentage of the South Korean
population live in blocks of flats so laying fibre optic feeds to them is
economic. In the UK such a scheme is unlikely to be economic. Although the
cable TV companies have done it in limited urban areas it is not going to
happen for decades unless customers can be persuaded to pay the costs.
Outside of urban areas forget it!

Who funded the infrastructure in Korea ?
Who do you propose pays for it in the UK ?

It would be nice to get ADSL - period! I can see the exchange across
the fields but the cable take 9Km to get to my house. Attenuation
loss unmentionable. All I get is this helpful message on the ADSL
checker.
"Your exchange has ADSL broadband.
However, despite an engineer's visit to your premises it has been
proved not possible for your telephone line to support broadband
service. Please accept our apologies. We are continuing to look for
alternative technology solutions and this site will be updated with
developments as they happen.
Thank you for your interest"

This isn't really an issue - only a fairly small proportion of people
can even get the most out of Max ADSL.
Now, this is BTs fault.
They changed the way connections are metered.
So, an ISP basically had to choose between not offering any budget
connections at all - maybe 5-10 quid dearer, and paying BT over 50p/gig
for data transferr.

When does the MAXdsl start?
Yes you know April the first.
April fool from BT is my guess.

What does BT stand for?
Is it 'Behind Technology' by any chance?

I like to think it means 'Big Titties' - but I'm beginning to doubt it
really does mean that.

About 100 years if BT has anything to do with it.
