They wont as their obsession is with low prices, sky and talktalk will just say if you do that then you lose the cheap low end products.

Almost certainly. But that it not what OFCOM should be doing, they should be working to improve the quality of service to customers which includes bringing the lower speeds up to an acceptable level.


I do like your other comment - remove power masks! That will soon get people moving.

In reply to a post by MHC:

Maybe this is where OFCOM should intervene and instruct all operators that on exchange XXX cabinets L, M N ... ADSL shall be ceased and VDSL implemented for all users.

That was what happened in New Zealand.

It was a few years back, and it was really to cease exchange-based ADSL because cabinet-based ADSL (2+, I imagine) was being turned on, rather than VDSL2.

And sometimes people wonder why we still have old technology in use in the UK. At times, no one is prepared to take the bold step of dumping what we had and replacing it with a known working alternative that offers significant improvements.
