Although Halfway appears to have been updated its a pity that the lines weren’t.I stay less than 1 mile from the exchange and from last weekend broadband service has been terrible.I’m with sky but others with Talktalk and AOl are having same problems

As Lindsey says on Post 1.

I live in Glasgow Halfway area. The only people offered Infinity are those where there is competition for BT.

All the new estates that have recently been built in the area remain without a premium service.

Thanks for the list Tref. It will be intersting to see how many of the respective cab’s will be upgraded to facilitate this. I already know of one area with FTTC enabled, with only half of the cabs due to be upgraded.

The interesting thing would be to map this against LLU offers and Virgin territory and see if any of the exchanges are actually providing to people who have little to no choice at present.

We all know the answer of course – they don’t, as BT are awaiting access to government funding before venturing into anywhere new. Yawn.
