johnpopham Your headline on this piece is misleading. Ed Vaisey didn't say the UK is leading in broadband, he said the rest of Europe looks to us for our competitive market. That is a very different issue

cyberdoyle Dear Ed Vaizey. It isn't fibre broadband unless its fibre to the home. If you spend our money on stupid cabinets then history will remember it well. It is shortsighted to patch up the old phone network. We need fibre. Moral and optic. Support the altnets, get fibre to the rurals and get some competition going. If you want futureproof you won't get it through copper. Rurals can't afford BT FTTP because of hundreds of thousands of excess charges. They can however afford a couple of thousand via an altnet, as that increases the value of their property and is an investment in their future. Stop believing that just because our fantastic phone network delivered 1st generation broadband it can deliver the future. It can't, and we will be left behind, throttled, capped and tied to an obsolete infrastructure.
