Somebody should be blushing !
« on: September 16, 2010, 08:08:32 PM »

Gentlefolk,

This would be rather amusing if it weren't so desperately sad !

Re the number of people without broadband we have about 30 houses and two schools in Ewhurst who can't get any form of ADSL broadband.

Kind regards,
Walter

Laughs,  what annoys me is those that have fast get faster and those that have slow or nothing still get slow or nothing.

Its about time the government got off there ass and started to invest in a digital britain for all.

Leave it to market forces and the fast will continue to get faster and the have nots wil still get nothing..

Hi
It was always so .

rural areas:
 have worse or no train service
 have worse or no bus  service
 have worse digital TV service (or none ?)
The list goes on and on and on.

Regards Jeff

I read that the government charges a fibre tax which, if true, must surely be a disincentive to private companies who want to lay fibre optics in areas where Virgin Media and BT have no current plans to do so.
