Well of course, it's a good job they bought EE.

"should once again be record profits and record revenue."
well if they aren't BT has wasted £12.5bn buying EE
so please stop repeating the bleeding obvious.

The rate of progres of telecoms, particularly over the last 20 years, has been nothing short of phenomenal, led by bt. From expensive 28kb to cheap 80Mb in a few short years. That's 3000 times faster. Or 8,000 times faster if you pay a bit more.

If cars had developed at that rate, then the average car would be capable of 300000 mph and 10,000 mpg.

christh, I got my fiber this year, but to get I had to lobby my MP who then wrote to BT to find out why the poorest quarter of my CITY had been left without.

I agree that nothing is for free, even freeview or freeserve if you can remember them but BT openreach need to be more open and collaborate better with other telecoms sector companies.

No wonder our country's gone to pot...

However, after the tax antics and more investment in 46km fiber ring "superhighway" this might actually be used.

But, this site is not far from Siemens semiconductor group built in 1997 and closed 1998 then demolished in 2009, new ventures can be high risk.

The UK TV license fee is high for what the consumer gets, a license to fleece monopoly. Freeview (not free), repeat programming, poor quality imported shows from overseas, however this is what we have and will not pay for extra media other than Love Film delivered via the postman.

Watching a 'tomorrow's world' special programme on the future of IT sometime in the early 1980's amazed me with microchips, data storage and fiber to the home. This, for me has took the best part of 35 years to be realised, others are still waiting for the fiber.

The country needs more serious fiber competition to wake BT from its slumber.

BT is at the forefront of technology in all forms.
Broadband with the highest speed, fibre instead of copper offered to the premises,
Video on Demand, Sports channel, You View box/broadcasting,EE mobile ultimate fast,
Data, Voip etc.

All come at a cost as you all know, nothing is free.
Like you invest in equities,property, funds etc BT has been investing in all these technology areas for the more demanding customers.
The cost is expected to be covered by customers,institutions,organisations and other operators who can not afford to spend in research and investment.
Companies like Sky,Talk-Talk,Vodafone,Virgin and many others all demand bandwidth,
network,ducts,fibre share,copper share for peanuts.
That's why they want Openreach to split up from BT, thinking will have the technology for free brushing aside the cost that BT has shed to develop,grow and implement it.
That cost came partly from BT shareholders and investors as BT plc is a public company not an individual company.
As shareholders, we, in theory protest to OFCOM,the Obdusman, the Trade departmet,The office of fair Trading and maybe court action against these parasites.

your thoughts?

No wonder our country's gone to pot. Even when we are world leaders in tech we seem to despise the people who brought it about. From probably the richest nation on the planet to average, just because we loathe world leadership. Jet engines, nuclear tech, telecoms ..... let's just waste everyone world leading opportunity we have eh.

[spacecake] 30/12/2016 08:40

So guess who's holding up the - Information Superhighway in 1994, the same people holding it up today!

[montyhedge] 30/12/2016 08:18

27th January next big date 3rd quarter figures, I expecting record profits again.

"Monty is the Don"....

Good Lord, has the NHS mental health funding crisis, ever been this acute?

[ascoyne] 29/12/2016 22:41

What the heck has the cost of the BBC license got to do with this forum. Compared with Sky its an absolute bargain.

With regard to fibre (UK spelling) BT was well ahead of the rest of the world in its development it was just stopped by Thatcher in rolling out 30 years ago because of the desire to allow competition into the market.

BT has been hamstrung by government and Ofcom interference in all this time.

Good value yesterday, juicy divi to come.

[montyhedge] 29/12/2016 15:22

27th January is the important date. I expect a great figures and statement going by last year.

[silver tortoise] 29/12/2016 15:12

Monty is the Don !

[younasm] 29/12/2016 15:02

Impressive move up --- but still a long way to go to 400p

[dmf] 29/12/2016 14:03

Indeed, that's why he is the No 1 trader !

[dipso] 29/12/2016 14:00

monty is my hero
he said the share price wouldn't fall by much, and he was right AGAIN
broke even on a neutral ftse day
Mug traders buying today 'cause they don't know it's ex dividend.
I think it was a master stroke making today ex divi
All other punters will come back next week from holidays they won't know anything about it.
Just follow the the rainmaker No.1 MONTYHEDGE

[montyhedge] 29/12/2016 13:51

Now all we need is then to start the buybacks and we would be back to 385p in the blink of a eye.

[montyhedge] 29/12/2016 13:45

Now the big date 27th January, record profits coming again.
