Get a new platform provided if they are that slow.

yes, might have to. IG seem more robust


They all want speed. Yes, but BT is not the issue. The VPN and bandwidth within the corporates is the issue.

I was getting 14ms latency to google servers. My corporate VPN between 70ms and 140ms and sometimes worse.

70ms is just about usable for terminal services. 140ms is an utter ball ache.

I've worked at several companies.

Same with voice conferencing but lower limits. 40ms is just about tolerable on voice call. At 100ms it gets messy.

Ask any Openreach engineer, you see on the roadside, are you busy, my one said trying to bring ex engineers out of retirement, don't know if true, but good news I think if it is.

You know I'm bullish on BT, they must be booming installing Fibre for home workers, no one in London all working from home. They all want speed.

yeah, my fibre broadband really helped me trade yesterday. Oh hang on, it didnt. Took around 5 minutes to get a quote on selftrade and even if you hit confirm straight away, no trade took place.

Ended up going to the pub for the afternoon. Far more productive.

I just had it installed it's fantastic.Gone from 14mbs now 110 mbs.Once you get it you don't go back.So good nearly become a high frequency trader, lol

dream on monty


Companies must be paying for their workers to get high speed fibre to work from home. Teleconference best with fibre.

bandwidth is not the issue. Even a basic broadband package is sufficient. Latency is a massive issue, and fibre wont help there.

Dividend 13.5% now I think 30% dividend cut the same has Vodafone.Still a fantastic yield.

chinese are gamblers by nature.they will still buy even if the world is ending.

[montyhedge] 17/3/2020 11:57

Strange U.K. and US markets down 26% this year, China up 0.3%.

dagsteeth - You are right it doesn't take a genius to know how it ends. It ends with BT securing massive refunds on the outlays they have made from the respective sports organisations, either voluntarily or in the courts. Simples!

kmonn
bt don't need a cc offering, ANY business can activate remote access with appropriate software.

Remind me how many matches have been cancelled here?

Well kmonn, feeling a plonker yet?

monty, teleconferencing does not need fibre. Skype built their business on dial up speeds. A FHD tv picture at 25 fps needs about 4 mbps.

[sr2day] 17/3/2020 10:55

bt is the one to buy.bt sports does not even contribute 10% to bt revenue.

[dagsteeth] 17/3/2020 10:51

Just cancelled my bt sports subscription this morning. The guy in the call centre said there were tens of thousands of similar calls. Given how much BT has paid for sports rights don’t need to be a genius to figure out how that ends, which coupled with a pension deficit which will now have tripled with the market collapse combined with interest rate cut, means BT will soon go bust.so in answer to a previous poster I’d rather own Vodafone

Ps Sky are much more devious, they’ve closed call centres, told everyone to go online and crashed their website. And had the temerity to send me a notice of a £3 a month price increase. When I do finally get through I hope they can do without my £100 a month

bob...please cut some slack for monty...

[amaretto1] 16/3/2020 20:53

Which u think is the better buy Vod or Bt ?

[bargainbob] 16/3/2020 19:45

We know Monty , we know BT biggest bull.

[montyhedge] 16/3/2020 17:15

Lucky escape IAG sold 602p. BT I do like, even 50% cut in dividend, still a good yield.

[nige co] 16/3/2020 17:00

Monty, I bet your glad you're not in IAG ? IAG down 59% this year.

I agree no one can survive without mobile and internet. Market will realise this and BT share price will recover.

[montyhedge] 16/3/2020 16:28

We all need the internet and mobile.

[sicker] 16/3/2020 15:31

BT re-bounding, just gone blue and rising :-)

[diku] 16/3/2020 15:03

VOD won the race...first to 100p...

[1224saj] 16/3/2020 13:14

Selling at £1.21, highly likely at a loss??Could then buy back in at £1.10, yes, I get that. But logic is now out of the window, bt now at £1.04??

[montyhedge] 16/3/2020 12:21

Most of the country will be working from home, everyone wants fibre their companies will pay for it, need it for teleconferencing. Rather be in BT than airlines.
