We're already out of our contract with BT for Infinity and sky still haven't got a product out.
Missing the boat springs to mind

BE are missing the boat, Sky have people on trials with a plan to launch in April.

I wonder if FTTC is even yet available at the same percentage of the country/population as Virgin Media ??

Some of us are *still* waiting for FTTC cab to be fitted :-/

BT Retail are over 500,000 now, fast approaching 600,000! That's almost 10% of their customer base and it's not available to a huger percent of the country yet.

They're obviously doing something right. It's going to take some hell of a deal for Sky to steal the lime light.

It doesn't make much sense for them to only offer 2mb upload as I would presume the links from the exchanges in to their backbones are symetrical.

No I agree, I know TT are lining up a trial of 80meg (assume 80/20) at the moment. I think most ISPs got mugged a bit with the initial 40/2 offering assuming any FTTC product would do to start with and of course BT went straight for 40/10.

2Mb/s during trial. 10Mb/s at launch.

And both BT and Sky will likely show Zen how it's done...
