Petition Faster deployment of FTTC services

More details

(As requested by the broadband community, I've made some modifications to the previous petition so that it meets your satisfaction, I hope you'll sign for the benefit of our country.)

At the current rate of deployment for next generation FTTC services, we'll continue to fall behind other country's within Europe who are far ahead of us already.

Broadband is becoming more essential in acquiring jobs, a decent education and for disabled people (e.g Shopping).

Many areas suffer from speeds under 5 Mbps on old hardware which is unreliable. To improve upon this, we would like the target of date for FTTC to be brought forward to 15/06/2013 as another 4 years is a long time to wait, for such an essential service.
