    It just means that products they used to sell years ago won't be sold any more.

    You'll still be able to get BT Broadband, etc, but not some older ones.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    That must mean the end of 'normal' broadband to be replaced by fibre in February 2014. Can't wait :)

    No, FTTC is an additional service to ADSL. At extra cost of course.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Thanks everyone, the availability checker above thinks I will "only" get a 4 fold increase in speed.

    As I am with TT the BT system does not recognise my number, but I will check again using next door's phone number (about 1/4 of a mile away but I know we both share the same utility pole) then take up Roland's offer.
  • hey ho, that cabinet is about a mile away, which might explain why the improvement is only forecast as 3 - 4 times the current speed, I don't think upgrading will be a priority for me.

    Thanks everyone for your help.

    So, what speed do you need?
