ADSL is coming

Well, probably. I remember around 4 years ago when BT first announced ADSL and I was the first on our exchange to sign up, after the promises of free installation. We spent several years without a trigger point, BT essentially saying it wasn't worth upgrading the exchange, but in November we were given a trigger of 250. It's a rural community, so it was always going to be worrisome as to whether we'd even get that many registrations. The exchange serves 4 or 5 villages, so we coordinated our campaings, and at 14:50 today we hit the trigger point.

The only trouble now is that there are roughly 300 exchanges already waiting to have an upgrade date set, so even though we've hit the trigger it could still be many months, not only before we get the upgrade, but just to get the date for the upgrade. Sigh.

Still, not that it really affects me since I have a very expensive piece of wet string between my house and BT providing a leased line service. If only I hadn't locked myself in for several years to save money.
