Good news: we're already in an enabled area and can get it now.

Bad news: that means we'll be last on the list for the newer technology, so will probably get left behind


Still, for you MK guys and gals.

I'm a bit puzzled about the race part, as my exchange is due for upgrade in December anyway.  

I'm not sure if I'l go for it or not.  My phone number suggests 40Mbps down and more importantly 10Mbps up.  On their top package they say unlimited downloads but they do admit to throttling peer to peer stuff.

At the moment I get 16Mbps down and 1.3Mbps up with Be for £15 with unlimited downloads and no throttling of anything...

I got an email from BT last week to say my exchange has been upgraded and I can have it...

I'm thinking I'll stick with Be though until they offer it (BT has to offer this network to other companies to use).
