FIbre not coming to Brentford

Just to let Brentford residents know that BT's new high speed Fibre broadband is NOT coming to some parts of Brentford. BT Openreach have decided the cabinets in my area TW80PL are not to be included in the current roll out phase. For a local buisness like mine this is devastating news, I have been waiting for this since the announcement of the Isleworth exchange being upgraded last year.Please encourage everyone to register interest in BT Infinity via the BT website, and BT Openreach. http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/

Thanks for the reply Venessa, unfortunately Virgin are fast yes, but your limited to their TV/Broadband package which I'm not interested in. To buy just their BB is very expensive.The speed increase is pretty comparable between Virgin and BT Fibre given the huge increase, but Virgin do throttle users at varies times, which again is not good for me, once Fibre is here there will be lots of different ISP options not just BT. I can then choose one that offers a good price/performance.Looks I'll have to wait till next year.

Sorry, I'm not a technical bod but why not use Virgin which is the faster anyway? Personally I wouldn't touch BT with a bargepole.
