So much for the BT commercial for their broadband product. Apparently, some parts of London are still without broadband! This stinks, they are going to disappoint a lot of people throughout the UK - if they cant even manage broadband in all of London. If the capital hasn't got 100% coverage, then my area hasn't got a chance.

In theory, BT could be sued for false advertising.

Broadband hasn't 'landed' at all - it's still an immensley broken and disjointed network, even if you include cabled areas.

My dad can't get broadband. I've got it, so whenever I go round his house on his internet I get depressed :/. Modems are painfully slow..

They will do if its through a phone line ... they all (excluding cable) go through BTs network.

I've tried line tests from about every Broadband service out there and they all say that it is available in my area :D

But hasn't London got Cable???

Cable broadband seems to be more popular that BT's offerings, so maybe its just a case of BT knowing they wouldn't make much money in that area?!?

Still, I know what you mean, those ads on TV make broadband look likes is readily available everywhere, which obviously isn't the case.

But what can you do about it?? Not a lot unfortunatly.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Many thanks!!
