At the moment, only about 20% of Britain have a ADSL exchange thus enabling broadband.

For those of us in the 80%, Online gaming seems pretty daunting when faced with 56k laggyness.

But not to worry! The CLA have started a petition to recieve broadband access in rural britain, as well as eventually having broadband all over britain.

If the petition is large enough it means that BT will recieve a grant from
the government to expand the broadband community.

It may take a couple of minutes of your time, but please visit http://www.cla.org.uk/campaign-redirect.htm and go to the bottom of the page, send them an email of support and get added to the petition.

I heard from a friend that BT offer their broadband if you start up a little petition of people in your area and then they'll set it up. I think it's about 250 people.

Heh, he lives around the corner yet I have broadband (on Blueyonder). It's good at first, then you don't notice it and it doesn't seem that good. That's until you try using a modem again...

Everywhere will have it over time but if you want it try that petition thing, if it's true.
