BT have a duty to provide this service. They may have been privatised 20+ years ago, but they owe their dominant position in the market today as much to where they started from (ie a monopoly) as to any business acumen applied since. Their starting position was funded by the tax payer and we need to see Government action to force the pace of broadband roll-out.
