    Still wouldnt buy BT broadband even it was 4mb. I bet it will be limited like the rest of thier broadband services.

    Why do they bother puting a 1gb, 2gb, 5gb limits? Alot of ISP are going for limits now and less are staying unlimited.

    I only got a BT phone as I have no choice as I need it for ADSL and no over company can provide a phone service here.

    I wouldnt even have a phone but when I moved my cable provider cant supplie here or any other cable broadband.

    I hate BT.

    Using BT's broadband service seemed the easy option to me (as it is billed through ure normal phone bill) but stuff getting restricted.

    BT Broadband is like owning a Ferrari, but having no petrol.

    BT have been putting down lots and lots of fibre for the last 20 years which has not been used to its full potential. It is there already just not cheap enough for public to rent but will be as more and more people are getting broadband and the demand increases for faster connections.

    Then that fibre will get well used. :)

    since BT are doubling there lines for free my ISP should follow them to try and not lose customers so i should get a nice 2Mb line for the price on my 1Mb line just now and without any of the stupid BT restrictions :D
