BT announces 20Mbps broadband "boost" for Britain

• how about uping the speed in rural areas, were i live i can only get 1Mbps, yet my friend and neighbour less than 1 mile from me gets 8Mbps, surely its not that unreasonable or difficult for them to extend the line just that einsy weinsy little bit is it.

• Sadly it is that difficult. Though one might expect ADSL2+ might squeeze a little more out of a noisy, long distance line? Not sure how much tho. Posted by Steve Page, UK

• I'm with BT and although I have never had a problem with them or the service in almost 4 years I don't understand why the U.K is so far behind with broadband speeds. I was in America recently and there were adverts around Manhattan offering 120Mbps!!! I currently get 6! :( Posted by Eyeball119, U.K
