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

Surrounded by the 95%

I'm another of the 5%, left with a copper line that'll do 6mb on the router, 2-5mb in speed tests.

Within half a mile there are plenty of houses with FTTC capable of 70+ mb, so do I fall into their 95% because of how things get measured. Being in such a built up area in a big city & on such a low line speed I can't imagine 95% is accurate given all the rural houses in this country.

My ISP (EE) list my line as a 6mb line, guarantee me a speed of 0.0 (seriously) & still I have to pay a line rental to BT on this. Surely it's not worth, nor justifiable to charge for such a poor service these days?
