Yes, they have changed a little. I do not live under a rock. My 'ten
years ago' bit was because I was just pointing out that it is hardly a new
problem.

So, the ISPs are lying when they say they are having to pay more to get
extra pipes from BT?
If they are, then I'm sorry for propsing that they allow the BBC to put
iPlayer mirror servers 'just next to' each pipe.
If they are not, I think it would be a good way of getting a compromise,
possibly better than 'naming and shaming'.
Indeed it could allow ISPs to say they have EXTRA FAST access to the
iPlayer.
