The plan has come under some criticism, mainly due to BT's plans for broadband internet access services. BT's main plan for providing internet access is to upgrade their DSLAMs to ADSL2+ in the exchange. This has been controversial because ADSL2+ is already an old technology and is limited to 24Mbit/s downstream, and will be even more dated by the time 21CN is completed. This has led to criticisms that BT is not future proofing their network, since fibre, while more expensive to lay, is a lot more future proof. Critics argue that fibre to the home would be more appropriate, which would mean replacing the current copper wire which supplies individual homes (the "last mile").
