Have moved around several places in the UK. Big cities, countryside, etc. The only place where I got the speed I paid for was a small town in the middle of nowhere (and I got 70Mbps, I don't use a lot of bandwidth and I would say it was still too slow...and the connection was down/slow constantly). The take up is good - look at Virgin Media, literally the worst reputation in the world, it is difficult to build a customer service operation that bad, and they still get good coverage over their network. Equally, you have a ton of local fibre operations that have done very well (CityFibre as an example). Why have other countries done this? So many obvious problems (do you actually work for BT?). Also, the fibre offerings of larger companies are generally not competitive on price (have you thought about the incentives of this? BT's strategy was: run down infrastructure, buy rights to the Premier League...if they created a competitive fibre product, that would involve risk). Also, no-one expected the current applications we have today. Like great, you are obviously clever but the point is that some things are unknowable...the future is generally one of them. EDIT: you do work for BT...fml.
