Onspeed and BT

BT/Yahoo have partnered with Onspeed to improve the dial up experience. Trouble is, it seems to be being called 'high speed internet access', yet it's just a compression utility rather than an increase in connection speed. As a diehard conspiracy theorist who can see shadows when the sun is high overhead, I'm dreading seeing areas of the UK etc without broadband connectivity (let's start with Scotland)being told that this is the solution to their woes instead of solutions to connectivity problems being found, or FTTH etc being explored.

At least they know they couldn't call it 'broadband' or there would be an outcry, but in the US 'high speed internet access' is the term most often used anyway, not 'broadband' because of the huge discrepancy between the offerings from the BabyBells and telcos, and the impossibility of agreeing on exactly what broadband should be to be sold under that name.
