I live in zone 2 in London, and the fastest broadband I can get is ~2Mbit. Even in major cities, good - or I would argue, even acceptable - broadband is not ubiquitous.

So do I (in fact, on the cusp of zone 3) - so I'm really curious why that's the fastest you can get?

  Not the OP, but in the same situation until I moved: Close-ish to an exchange (so no street cabinet on the line for fibre equipment), no cable coverage (so Virgin is out), out of range of wherever the hell Relish's tower is, and ancient wiring in a block of flats (so can't reach sane ADSL speeds).

    I'm in the same position. BT recently declared that they might install fibre to my street some time in 2017 though, so that's quite exciting.

      BT declared that they would install fibre to my street in London five years ago. That didn't happen.
