Might BT be wise to do as NG. and SSE and transfer their ownership offshore?

So when does Corbyn's free fibre broadband actually start if he becomes PM?...

[poikka] 24/11/2019 15:16

Had so many problems, but not sure where the issues lie - with my provider or OR.

Found out that I could at last get FTC (rural area in Hampshire). Requested it through my provider. 6 weeks later my provider confirmed what the OR engineers told me 4 weeks ago that there weren't enough fibre slots available in the cabinet - oh great. Would I like to return to ADSL? No, I'd rather continue with present situation of zero bband!! Of course I would, I told you that weeks ago, does no-one listen? So I should be reconnected in a week. We'll see.

Trouble is that I just can't get to speak to the tech team at my provider, I just get someone who is very pleasant but who can't influence tech team. Sooo frustrating!

Is this also an issue with BT?

What economic benefit is gained from connecting all homes to fibre broadband? Won't it just encourage people to watch more non-buffering HD Porn online? And by then, 5G will be so good nobody will need broadband.

I have simple non-fibre broadband and it's fast enough for online banking and shopping.

Good article by Midas

I agree with his conclusions the main problem for bt remains abysmal levels of service.

Open reach have failed to provide adequate broadband services to the majority of the population.

I suppose there is something to be said for the Scottish Government. Unlike JC's Labour Party who would give it away for free.....Idiot

The Scottish Government has awarded BT (Openreach) the final LOT 1 contract – as preferred bidder – to deliver their new £600m R100 (Reaching 100%) project, which originally (here) aspired to make “superfast broadband” (30Mbps+) ISP networks available to “every single premises in Scotland” by the end of 2021.

And if by a miracle labour do win then we and monty are all doomed on the 13th...

[colonelgrim] 22/11/2019 08:16

Yeh I thought that, if the Tories wake up on the 13th to a landslide victory, BT will jump 10 to 12% on the morning, I wouldn't recommend a BUY just yet though, place your bet on the 11th December!

[montyhedge] 22/11/2019 08:10

These could be over 200p easily around the 13th December if Tory win.Relief rally the leftie Labour get beat.

[colonelgrim] 22/11/2019 08:10

Mornin lads,

[ekuuleus] 22/11/2019 01:28

mr_rooster, that's got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

years of austerity, large deficits and debt doubled.

Well, which one. You can't have it both ways. Do you even think about what you are posting or are you just a NPC SJW that just repeats what you are told without any thought?

[apollocreed1] 22/11/2019 00:58

@mr_rooster - Things would be worse under any other party. One of the greatest achievements of the Tory Government has been the PR exercise of "austerity." This has convinced creditors that our country isn't insolvent and that there was some "hope in hell" that the national debt could be kept under control.

If you look at the pound, it was strengthening against most currencies until the self-destruct button was pressed by the announcement of a Brexit referendum in Dec 2015. Unemployment was low, GDP growth was healthy and George Osborne was convincing investors that the UK would be the last country to go bust, and when other countries go bust before you, by default you become a safe haven.

The only way to ever pay back our government debt is to close down the NHS and abolish housing benefit and pensions -no government could ever survive such a solution. So the fact that I can still get an appointment with my GP within a week is a pretty big achievement.
