UPDATE: 2021: We finally have FIBRE! https://dabase.com/blog/2021/FTTP/



UPDATE 2018: Our upload has since deteriorated :( 

UPDATE 2016: BT Openreach have improved the line since. http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=18174.105

# Technology / Implementation is wrong

* FTTC can be slower than ADSL !! https://natalian.org/2014/07/02/FTTC_is_worse_than_ADSL_when_2km_far_away_from_exchange/
* Copper makes it difficult to diagnose problems
* Openreach monopoly
* Would like to pay to link to cabinet myself
