Some new housing estates have fibre optic cables, that aren't compatible with broadband. BT are too tight to dig the lines up & put new ones in
I'd be very pissed off if I bought a 5 year old house & couldn't get even a basic broadband connection

You won't get 4MB anywhere in the UK at all 
You might get it in the major cities but not outside
London gets 7.2MB now, major cities get 3.6MB (IIRC, Matt?) and most other places ar elucky to get over 1MB on a 3G card

Up to 3.6 is what the modem can do, realisticly you'll not see above 2.8 due to traffic/location
Tis good though, i use mine daily

Aye same here but the 7.2mb one is a bit of a nonsense really, i think its the city, the major london airports and like convent garden area that get it
