As per, the roll out will provide better access to those with very fast access already.
Areas like Central Milton Keynes with 4Mb max will be left out.

.....and nothing whatever in the South of England!

The bottom line is, HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST US?

Nothing within Birmingham or the Midlands either.
I wonder if the exchanges they have chosen are in areas where cable do not have a stranglehold on broadband, it would make sense commercially.

Echo - why is there nothing in the South at all? -
Perhaps they should think of the bigger picture and business needs around the country - rather than just posturing.
The commercial cost of delaying this technology is enormous.
Alternatively perhaps they should consider speeding up the roll out?

Picky perhaps, but Taff's Well is not 'in Rhondda'. The name's the clue - it's a village on the Taff. It falls (just) in the unitary authority of Rhondda-Cynon-Taff, but not the Rhondda part.
More significantly for the story, it is hardly'rural', being a large commuter village adjacent to Cardiff's northern boundary. Semi-rural, perhaps - I can't think of an accepted term for 'about 10% rural'.
