Yeah. Rather infuriating to be just over the river from the mega banking land and still be staring at buffering icons.

Is the rest of Surrey Quays still that shite? I'd have thought BT would have got their act together by now.

BT won't ever upgrade - not the wire, at least.

The problem is that the cabinet is in Bermondsey, the physical loop is huge (as in, the wire travels a ridiculously convoluted route), and the wire is aluminium, not copper.

When I lived there, plenty of companies gave chat about fibre and cable, but nobody ever did anything.

Is that a general thing in the UK? Most of Denmark seems to have access to speedy fiber - mostly because all the major power companies have been laying fiber cables every time they dug to do other work. I think all of the Greater Copenhagen area have access to 1000 Mbit fiber @ £30/month.
