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.

Yeah, even in The London our internets are pretty poor compared to a lot of Europe, step outside of the M25 and you might as well just use smoke signals.
