BT fobbing us off with ADSL2+

30th April 2008 by David North

I’m confused.

I was pretty sure that BT said their 21st Century Network was the roll out of a fibre network across the UK. According to an article on the BBC website it seems BT are claiming that ADSL2+ is this 21st Century Network. If they think squeezing an extra few Mbps from the antique copper wires is 21st Century Network I better create a time machine and take a trip to the 22nd Century!

There are already companies providing a ADSL2+ service so what BT is beginning to use isn’t even the first of its kind.

Just another example of the telecomms monster under-investing and under-providing for something that could seriously affect the UK ability to keep pace online.
