Re: Will it really make any differece?
For Openreach/an ISP to fund that would be exceedingly difficult. To stand any realistic prospect of breaking even on the install you'd need to be tying the consumer into a 5-10 year contract which almost no residential user is likely to agree to.
The bit of the cable that goes from the property to the cabinet has to be paid for, this is an ongoing cost that could switch from ISP to ISP as the customer does, n'cest pas?
Unfortunately this would require a huge loan behind it all but you can't have everything.
