If you're lucky, EFM, ok it's out of most "home" budgets as it bonds
four PSTN lines but it gets 10-15Mbps symmetric, rather than whatever
ADSL1 can manage.


Interesting - that is one I had not investigated before. Prices are not
cheap (seems like £170/month is not uncommon for 10Mb symmetrical), but
compared with a couple of business class ADSL connections and bundled
phone lines its not a huge jump.



I heard an ISP comment the other day that they, BT, were delaying the
roll out of Fibre to some industrial estates because why give them fibre
at 30 odd quid a month when you can supply leased lines and EFM for a
lot more moolah.....
