I agree with you Walter but nothing is going to change until the government funds a major role out of the best available service format in the world and as I have said before we need to bring open reach back into public ownership as the private (needing profits) model will never make Britain a digital leader and not that far off we may even be seen as a third world country when it comes to the digital age.

Just like other publicly owned services that should never have been sold off. Like the next to be sold off The Post Office. Only the profit making parts are being sold, leaving the taxpayer to foot the loss making parts.  >:(

Gentlefolk,

YACU

Yet Another C... Up !!!
Apparently they were just testing the system and these are the first alphabetically in the list.

If only the waste, expense and resources of this operation were put to better use such as paying for a fibre run somewhere.

Kind regards,
Walter

About par for the course I'm afraid. Can they really expect users to believe in them.  :no:  :lol:

I've just checked and there is 15 votes for my exchange now. I think I have a chance. A cat in hells chance.  :lol:

GREAT NEWS!
Your exchange is already on the rollout plan for BT Infinity

I've seen April 2011 quoted, though with a 3km line and ADSL2+ 47 dB attenuation, I can't believe I'd be their first for consideration,

Gentlefolk,

WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END ?

This whole Infinity thing seems to be degenerating into an unmitigated disaster.
One has to ask how long such dysfunctional activity can continue without either serious harm to the provider or a major restructuring is undertaken?
