    It actually might happen. If it does, it's much more likely to be FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) than FTTP (to the premises).

    your correct mate, but the press release does say FTTP will be used in some cases. So here is hoping. My line is crap though and i only get 5MB from a possible 8MB , if they roll this out would it improve my speed.
