This is quite a galling discussion :) I get ~2.5mbs. I live in a village about 30 miles from the second biggest city in the uk.

I've really noticed how ordinary websites have become sluggish over the past few years. To their credit, Netflix is ok as long as nobody else in the house is doing anything online.

I'm thinking I'll have to start some kind of local action group to get BT to take notice and install fibre.

Even wifi can be made way faster, why don't you start a community WISP? Small nonprofit WISPs basically formed the market in the Czech Republic, which is why I had these speeds.
