I just checked local planning applications and not even a mention of a cabinet around here, looks like BT have no plans what so ever to upgrade my cabinet. Looks like i am stuck with this crappy slow internet for a long time yet...
At this moment in time there really isn't a need for more than 80/20. Your not allowed to host and stuff to make profit anyway on a residential connection.

The same infrastructure is used for Business Infinity and also for other ISPs that do allow commercial usage.
so have to wait out for FTTP on demand.Game server on a home connection with like 20 hops?
Seedbox on home connection are you crazy? 20Mbit wouldn't make much of a seedbox.
