That is the pity of it. The fibre to the home component of it is already capable of speeds ten times what is being delivered but the CVC pricing makes it so expensive to deliver as to be unviable to offer plans that people will pay for, therefore no RSP offers it and that in turn is being used to run the argument that no one wants it. The same argument is currently being used to argue that (Effectively) no one wants the 100/40 on offer now.
While you could accuse me of being one of our esteemed PM's "Fibre zealots" I would have to agree that only a small percentage of the population as of now could justify a 100/40 service except for "I want it" however that will change. It is only about fifteen years since dial up was normal, 1500kb/sec was "Fast" and our communications minister stated in public that people only wanted broadband for faster access to pornography.
The pity of it is that when even 100/40 becomes "Normal" a large chunk of the population will be unable to get it because of the mess that is being built right now. And it WILL become normal and justifiable to an average household.
