Because we have a government who doesn't give a shite arse about infrastructure. And that of BT Open Reach corruption. I live in the city centre and I don't even have fibre. Meanwhile all the new corrupt housing developments all get "fibre" as a perk for buying a house on land that floods.

Around here at least, the fibre I've seen in new builds isn't OpenReach, it's OFNL. But fellow city dweller here. I'm stuck on Virgin Media coax where I live, despite being about two streets and direct line of site from the BT exchange. 16mb ADSL2 is the best OpenReach can give me as a consumer.

  Corrupt housing developments in the UK. Look it up. Buying off councils, planning permission. You name it.

Not forgetting the case of the local council selling off the library of my town to another housing development.

        So what above proves your point regarding systematic corruption? Pasting a load of hastily googled things doesn't advance your prejudice induced argument one iota.
