Sovernet is not the only one utilizing BT's fiber in the city. There are several other ISP's and fiber companies jumping on board. TelCove, VTel, etc. In fact I believe those are the two Internet providers for BT. Incidently, you might get a better deal on your bandwidth than going with Sovernet if you check with one of these other providers...
I have been hearing all over the place about the time for getting DSL is a couple weeks, to a couple months even... Just thought I would throw out that the local telephone company I work for, we sign people up and have their DSL working within a few days and have hit over 10% penetration rate.
I believe that DSL and Cable services will become more and more an everyday occurance, and the timeframe will be less than a couple years (Just judging by our own network growth which took us from less than 1 percent to over 10 percent in under a year)/

Move to Vermont! We have that and are moving towards ADSL2+ soon, along with fiber-to-the-home.
Here in Vermont I get DSL service for $34.95/month. That gives me up to a full 8192Kbps downstream and 1024Kbps upstream.
The price of DSL does not seem too bad to me... I am more than happy paying my $34.95/mo for the 960Kb/s I get.
What is everyone else paying for broadband access?
