My question is why am I paying far more for services via an exchange that has had no upgrade investment for several years where others have had one or more upgrades and have cheaper bandwidth due to an artificial price structure that was skewed in favour of the faster services?
WBC was due here early this year.. then at FTTx rollout start the dates were withdrawn. The reason has never been explained, and the onvious conclusion is that eithert the cash or logistics have been diverted to the FTTx roll out - leaving us on last gen services - probably "because they can"
FTTx shows no sign of penetrating west of Swansea... so thats 2 whole counties at least left out.
I share the exact same views as you regarding the fact that Market 1 exchange customers pay more than Market 3 exchange customers despite the fact that Market 3 customers can use up more bandwidth than Market 1 customers.
Only thing we can do is wait it out until BT decide to upgrade our exchanges or until an LLU provider comes along (Although, as I personally know and have proof of, LLU providers do NOT always go for the large exchanges first - Especially TalkTalk).
