Apparently this means that the new 1Gbps service is already available &#8220;<em>via a choice of over forty ISPs<\/em>&#8220;, though to date we only know of one &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/isp_list\/ISP_Detail_Fixed_Line_Broadband.php?seethelight-251\">Seethelight<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Daniell states that the problem now is about &#8220;<em>getting Government and industry to work together to get the message out<\/em>&#8220;. Of course if we knew which of the other 39 ISPs were offering it then that might be a start? It probably doesn&#8217;t help that the current coverage is comparatively small.
