Re: Milton Keynes Cable
Nah, I reckon Virgin Media will upgrade this area even it means having no help from BT. This area has potential.
A better idea after when BT ditched its relations with Sky, BT could have acquired the Cable franchises, get rid of Cable Telephone services and just use BT's existing network. That way BT could offer:
Digital/Analogue Cable TV
Cable Broadband
IPTV-Eventually
And over BT's existing telephone network:
ADSL for out of Cable areas
Telephone service
It would have made sense in BT buying NTL,Telewest,Smallworld,Wight Cable and maybe taking over the defunct Aberdeen Cable network, then BT would have a fibre optic national network covering just over 40% of the UK which can be expanded over time. As BT is the UK's predominant provider, there fibre optic Cable network would also be open to other companies wishing to offer faster speeds and Digital TV like Tiscali.
