Surrey set to get 100% 'superfast' broadband
I think someone may be being a tad optimistic, and as you say not understand the realities.
The council may well think they are being smart and have "moved forward" by putting it out to tender, but if BT who can offset some costs from the more profitable areas dont think its viable then Im not sure who could/would afford to put in a tender to make sure even the most remote location is covered to ensure the 100%.
Even if someone did have shedloads of $ to throw at it, like you say I dont even see remote msans for FTTC being able to cover all areas.
