OFNL - 900Mbps rollout and general infrastructure

Hi,

Sorry I am not an expert or knowledgeable so just trying to get some understanding about something that seems so logical but probably full of commercial politics. OFNL currently offers up to 360 Mbps in my area yet the infrastructure is capable of 1gb and more. How is it lagging behind in its offering compared to competitors?

I know 900 mpbs is started to be rolled out in random locations but having had a chat with Seethelight and MTH Network staff about when packages may change in my area the,y are only find out by monitoring the OFNL page.Is it really this silly that suppliers have no idea of a rollout or infrastructure plan?
 
To be fair I'm not totally surprised. OFNL have something of a reputation for being fairly opaque. They have a relatively small but captive market, no outside regulation and little in the way of direct competition. Therefore they can upgrade (or not) the required backhaul circuits at leisure.

That is both its gift and curse I suppose. Thanks for your reply.
