And the band played on....

And, no doubt, it was a case of 'The Band Played Believe It If You Like'.

>> The previous Labour government had set a 2013 target for a universal 2Mbps service.

>>> The coalition soon changed that to “the best broadband network in Europe by 2015"

>>>> The deadline for Britain’s national next generation broadband service has slipped to 2017.

I suppose that it doesnt help that half the buffoons have a foggiest about adsl implementation.  There were a few of us who despite wanting it to come true foresaw that actually meeting the target in some areas could be extremely difficult.  Fibre is obviously the way to go, but with the HUGE cost of laying it, I still dont know where all the funding will come from.
