Or it could be they are focussing on meeting their contractual obligations with BDUK in preference to their own commercial deployment, which isn't subject to penalties for late delivery?
Dunno. It's a large project after all, and like pretty much any large British organisation incompetence and bureaucracy are probably to be expected.
On the plus side for BT, their basic network seems to be of rather high quality. Given that we're relying on them far more with fttc than one with llu adsl2, that's probably more important.
Anyway, for perspective .........

Thank you for your Fibre Broadband enquiry.
During our deployment we sometimes encounter problems with our roll out plan which can unfortunately result in a delay to our initial plans, delays vary from 3 months to 12 months depending on the scale of the problem. The sort of issues that we encounter are things like blocked underground cable routes, disputed land ownership and the existence of unrecorded underground lines for utility companies to name a few.
If our forecasted lead time improves this will be reflected on the micro site for your exchange and on the line checker of your chosen service provider, as things stand the target date is
15/11/2011.

Still no sign. Roadworks booked more times than I can count. Amount of work done: zero.
