People in the South are cheated on their water too. I demand soft water from up North be delivered my home in the South East!

Speeds are a geographic issue aren't they. Im pretty sure that if a house cannot handle a line speed, then it is not offered. Right?

IMHO I think a high percentage of the problems are not the fault of the various ISP's but with BT not getting their act together.
Even taking into account that even though their is some hyper fast data transmitted through fibre optics the vast majority ends up being bottle-necked through old technology copper telephone cable to the end user.
The French telecoms system have much the same limitations as BT but seem to cope far better.
