The plan is to turn copper off by the end of 2025. They've already done it in my neck of the woods, meaning that if I change my broadband provider, the only service on offer is FTTP. All well and good, but given that we need a landline (which will now be a 'Digital Voice' IP based landline), the only companies willing to offer us one are BT, Sky, and Vodafone, meaning there's very little in the way of competition.
When my contract comes to an end, it'll go up from £23 a month to £39 a month (broadband + landline). OK, so I'll get a 500Mb, rather than a 70Mb line, but I've got absolutely no need for the extra bandwidth. Virtually double the cost - now that's progress. -

So I had my luggage scales out earlier (which are also handy for weighing bikes), and it turns out that this is comes in at 9.5kg, which is lighter than my Reynolds 531c Condor, so if you're wondering if Reynolds 501 makes a bike heavy (for a steel bike!), it does not. If you're looking for a beautifully riding steel commuter bike, you've found it!
