In reply to a post by andygegg:
The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed the small print on the new BT TV ads (I paraphrase) - 85% of users switching to fibre get at least a 3fold increase in download speed. So, if the fibre rollout over Cornwall actually happens, I've got an 85% chance of getting 2 point 5 Mb/s. Let joy be unconfined!

haha should do better than that

We got about 6 fold increase and we're far from our cabinet

May as in may be the case or may not.

BT Total certainly promotes the bundles, and is allowed to limit you to having a non WLR product if they want to.

If you are in cornwall three options exist

around 80-90% of properties will receive a fifty/fifty shot at ftth/fttc

Remainder will get some other service, wireless, satellite, BET.

Adverts are NOT able to reflect an individuals circumstances, but provide in a second or so a general idea of what is possible.
