According to Ofcom, speeds of 24Mbps are currently available to 94 per cent of premises. Yet only 45 per cent have signed up, sticking with their poxy standard ADSL packages of around 11-12Mbps.
A survey of 3,000 customers by Which? suggests that the most common reason for not bothering to upgrade was because people felt happy with their current speeds.
So if people can't be arsed to upgrade from creaking ADSL services to the much-derided "superfast" fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) speeds, why on earth are they going to bother with the far more expensive full-fibre speeds?

Like other comments here, I only get 2 point 4 Mb ADSL. I have no problem surfing the web although I do not stream video. My television is fed by satellite - which is Freeview i.e. nothing to pay after the initial outlay for the satellite decoder. I find that 120 channels or more sufficient.
