Excuse my extreme ignorance, but why does everyone here think OFCOM and LLU provisioning is the boogieman? Back in 2006 or so where I was living it was either 8mbit ADSL 'max' from BT or blazing fast 24mbit from your choice of several LLU providers... I guess things have moved faster than OFCOMs regulations could keep up, but where would be now without that competition back then? Would the 21CN roll out have happened when it did, or would BT have been happy still collect what ever they chose to charge for adsl max for as long as possible?
