Exactly the same for me Ian, I couldn't agree more. To rub salt in 
the wound, I actually walk past my exchange on the way to the local 
pub. It is only about 300m away from my house. But we live in a 
village of less than 2000 and they want over 25% to sign up before 
enabling the exchange. I'd like to see that sort of percentage take 
up required in a city, they'd never get it!

At least with my server doing a scheduled connect every 15 minutes 
during the day, I have a chance to access the home from work, but 
there really is no comparison with 'real boradband'.
