Don't worry, avoiding Nuneaton is pretty natural to most

Re: BT begins FTTC broadband rollout pilots
Yeah it's subject to the same dynamic line management that the other DSL services are subject to, so it'll vary a bit in the first few days. Glad it's working well, and I'm looking forward to availing myself of it for the 10Mbps upstream option which is going to be available very soon

They were always pretty conservative about these things. Once my area is done I'll bolt an FTTC and a VM cable connection together through my home-made router. Huge e-penis enlargement!
Unsure when my area will be done sadly as they've only announced a limited deployment and are very tight-lipped after that, but hopefully will be next year.
