Finally, I'd really like to know where all these 3 million fibre-enabled households are, because we sure as heck aren't one of them and would love to have it, and we're fairly close to an exchange and in the middle of Cambridge, which is one of the most technology-focussed cities in the UK.

I think you mean 6 million but http://www.openreach-communications.co.uk/superfast/where-and-when/

The 'Future Exchanges' only goes into 2012 but the rollout will be going until (at least) 2014 when they expect to have covered 2/3 of the population.

Approximately 25% will be FTTP, the rest FTTC.

They claim is "Unlimited" but are getting taken to task by OFCOM for lying, as its really capped at 100gb per month, on their most expensive package.

Its not capped now - they abolished the old fair usage limits (which was 100gb and then increased to 300gb)

They now only cap p2p during peak periods and nothing else.

Well, it seems BT's services have caps -- lower tiers have a pay cap, and higher ones have a cap (admittedly fairly high -- 300GB) after which service is throttled.

BT abolished the 300GB cap on its unmetered/unlimited tariffs earlier this year

They now only restrict P2P traffic during peak periods
