They’ve flipped the script, so take pride in that. There’s at least one person in rural Scotland still relying on shaky 3Mbit ADSL connections. Usually, ISPs don’t have control over these issues—they rely on whatever resources exist. You’re probably using an Openreach link (like a BT phone line) and are left to decide whether it’s worth their investment to improve your service. Switching to fiber is expensive unless they’ve already committed. The best approach is rallying your neighbors, though that still involves big financial talks. If your neighborhood isn’t seen as viable, buying elsewhere might be more sensible. With the current political climate, it’s surprising how fast progress has been made. It was clear they’d never fully reach their 2025 goal of universal gigabit connectivity.

That's unexpected. I wasn't aware of that.
