Well done, UK.gov. You hit superfast broadband target (by handing almost the entire project to BT)

Re: Maybe

1: Exactly which locations fall into the 5% 'less than 24mbps' category and can BT provide this?

2 Can I detail several known locations which definitely do not provide 24mbps broadband?

All area West of Holland Park, London W11 and W14 and East of the Olympia Exhibition center - specified as less than 5mbps with average 2mbps **

Some area in Parsons Green and Walham wards, London SW6 - specified as less than 7.5mbps with average 3mbps

Some area in Munster ward, London SW6- specified as less than 5mbps with average 2.5mbps

Some areas around Henley on Thames (Wargrave, Remenham etc) which have broadband under 1.5mbps.

I am presuming that in many of these cases they might have upgraded the fibre to the cabinet, but not done anything to upgrade the cabinet to premises lines, which are for many still the same very old copper cabling.

** In this case BT actually suggest that you use Virgin as they say they have no plans to upgrade FTTC or FTTP.
