OFCOM findings re ISP's speed

[#1]

So true!
I come from Hull.  What my brother gets for what he pays is indeed shocking.  Fixed rate (1M &2M) services were the norm at way over what I was paying for up to 8M in rural Cheshire... And my service was better than his, less than 2 miles from the main exchange.

The problem with the digital age is that much of it (especially in rural areas) is still carried over ancient copper / aluminium wires, which have the ability to reduce FTTC to sub ADSL 2 speeds seen in urban areas.
