This is a question B3TA fixes the world

Moon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Simples
Copper twisted pair wasn't meant to carry anything like the bandwidth required for broadband digital communications. It was designed for analogue voice. Bell Labs. BT and countless other academics and engineers toiled for years to give you two and a half Million bits per second error free down a damp piece of wet string five miles long so that you could whinge on about it taking 10 minutes to download 3 hours of high definition porn to countless millions of other people all in the blink of an eye for micro pennies.

That do you ?

This and your exchange.
If it isn't unbundled then everyone has to share the bt ipstream pipe into the exchange, which means it'll be oversubscribed and contended to fuck.

This will result in a high speed connection between your router and the exchange, but a shit download speed.
