Pellowe am I correct in thinking that bt have had fibre for their business customers for years?
I did some work at bt tower a few years back. As you can imagine security was well strict and we had a guard following us constantly. Working through all the standard exchanges and the place was truly massive. Apparently that exchange is the biggest in the uk providing most of central London.
Then worked round to their fibre servers (or what ever they are). Was having a chat with the guard and he was saying one of the on site engineers was saying it was all close to basically collapsing. They had far out sold what they could provide and couldnt expand because the towers a listed building and they had run out of room to store more equipment. Wether that's true or just Chinese whispers I don't know but thought it was a pretty epic fail!
