Course you won't be able to get it yet (unless you live in very specific areas of London), I guess that put it on par with google fibre. :)

ROFL. A site that does 'scheduled maintenance' at 8:12 on a Tuesday morning?

Lot of confidence in their network :p;

I doubt england will ever get this and if we do it will be 10 times the price of anywhere else.

Don't be a debbie, like they said in the fiber video - no one believed we would get broadband/FTTC like we get now all those years ago.

It didn't take like for BB to be 100x faster than dial up

Likewise it won't take long (<10yrs?) to get this.

Especially not been as the house of lords have egged on TV over IP rather than broadcasting over air waves to free up for mobile phones/mobile internet.
 
I would love this, instead of being stuck with terrible Virgin media and Sky

Living in the heart of Leeds city and having no cable in the area and no access to Sky (no communal satellite dish) Superb!
 
4 years ago all i could get was 8mb BT that was more like 5mb in my area, now i'm on 100mb from virgin and could also get 80/20 from BT. Seeing 1gb lines sometime in another few years here doesn't seem inconceivable to me.
 
BT's 330mb down/30mb up FTTP will be out soon. Anyone who needs more than that is either very impatient or they work from home uploading and downloading large files.

Already out. Maybe you're referring to fibre on demand.

LOL, 15 telephone exchanges. It's hardly a proper 330mb launch. It's basically a trial.

Are you aware of how much it costs to roll-out FTTP?

There's never going to be a "proper launch", whatever you think it might mean. It's a commercial package, available to every ISP. The product itself was trialled a year or two before the launch earlier this year. Fibre on demand is going to be very costly.
