there are a number of reasons this can happen but sugges t this is a planning or a siting issue on yout cabinet -- which is why its rolls oever each Quarter and will continue to do so --

it may bw worth asking your local council to see if they have had a planning notigication for that cab and what it status is

i cant see there been any planning issues now the fibre and cab has been layed and been there 6 months there's a digital region cab right next to it thats been accepting orders so im not sure why its been delaid with the amount of vans been around the village today though its looking good lol

BT have doe a lot more to provide faster services in the UK than any other company and often they are forced to make investments at levels which do not generate a satisfactory return on capital.

Which still doesn't make up for all the years they sat on their monopoly without investing in the infrastructure whilst creaming off the profits. Europe and the rest of the world have had much better broadband for years.

Many cities in the rest of the world do indeed, but the vast majority of other countries have a much lower coverage of the population with an acceptable service.

You are looking at selective statistics. Anything can be proved by statistics, even complete opposites.

They had nothing else to do... OFCOM had forbidden them to offer domestic fibre broadband, so investment in a domestic fibre infrastructure would bring down OFCOMs wrath.
They couldn't buy any other UK telecoms with any war chest that they accrue...so profits were returned to shareholders.... which is the norm.

The recent superfast availability stats from Ofcom were interesting, both actual numbers and difficulty in getting good data

Total rubbish ...

BT has continuously invested in the infrastructure - as far as they were allowed. They did not cream off the profits and the rest of the world have not had much better broadband for years. I know of many countries were ADSL is not even on the horizon, or places in the US, France, Germany, Australia, Norway, S Africa where they have basic ADSL offering 2Mbps and nothing more.

I knew i forgetting something about investment in telecoms since privitisation...

they built up a successful mobile phone network (BT cellnet, later known as O2) and then sold it for £18billion.

They did not sell it ... BT split into two companies. BT and mmO2 and the latter was finally bought by Telefonica.
