but with out a driving need for fiber to the home you won't get it - no need to lay it down. Streaming TV creates that demand and with it you will be more likely to get that fiber to your home. There needs to be large bandwidth apps that the phone companies can charge for to make that fiber worth laying. If they can't make money off it there is no point for them to lay the fiber down.
apparently they are light weights in the UK

Digital obese? geez only 2000 songs? Nothing at all. A pack rat would have a terabyte or two of information at home and carry around with him a 250 gig external drive with the good tunes, videos and necessary files and software on it. At least that it what a true digital pack rack would do, no off the shelf mp3 players can satisfy this one.
