So, back to the averages for the uk sector. Cant see those holding at the mo. But thats just basic snapshotting. Its the real deal stuff thats foretelling, as always

[vlad the impaler] 10/6/2024 16:47

One thing you never want to see in stocks that like to double top over the averages and tank....a double top over the averages

[vlad the impaler] 10/6/2024 16:45

even that simple thing would have both buy and short side funds in action

I tested ours this afternoon and have 109Mbps with a ping of 6ms on my phone, and 106.5Mbps also with a ping of 6ms on my laptop. Switching to fibre to the house (rather than just the exchange) resulted in a significant boost in performance (particularly the ping). Our contract is with Vodafone for 100Mbps but we exceed that most days.

Download ping is 28ms vs 84ms (wifi).

stansmith1, that's the (artificial) limit for fibre 2 on full fibre (they leave you on whatever product you were on as part of a forced upgrade to get digital phone) but a much lower latency, which you will notice. l was getting around 64 mbps before the upgrade.

Just like price for new mobile phones starts from a high level then over a period of time it comes down...same with so call full fibre speeds...the package prices are coming down to keep or sign up new customers......the real beneficiary of these high speeds are those mega tech companies...it just bolsters traffic going through...how often you call a UK company and the person answering the phone says my computer is slow today...

BT offered me an upgrade from 74 mbps to 500 mbps for just £3 extra a month.

Snapped their hands off.

[fundamentals23] 07/6/2024 18:53

That was what was indicated. The potential this has in telecoms companies is enormous.

55,000???...Is BT heading towards AI?..

Ex-BT boss pockets £3.7m final pay deal as group plans to axe 55,000 jobs

Agree BT in a much better state than 3 years ago, all metrics improving. Price rises inflation + 3% whatever regulator allowed a gift as inflation should stick around 3%, my broadband jumped 10% 31/03, so Accounts do not show this big surge in revenue as yet. interest rates dropping will obviously help on £14B debt & will lower pension deficit, rising markets will also lower pension deficit. even the current £5B Cap Ex is covered by current cash flow so when this drops to say £3B & pension deficit payments stop, will be a big cash surplus for buybacks/special dividends.

[fundamentals23] 06/6/2024 13:17

Good point. There are some real tailwinds IMO. Pension risk will decrease, we've passed the inflection point of CAPEX, further significant cost reductions on way to further boost free cash flow, and the fruition of Openreach brings some major opportunity here.

[pdosullivan] 06/6/2024 12:26

Some interesting colour in the BT Annual Report released today. The BTPS pension scheme continues to reduce in size - now down to 265k members of which only 55k are deferred, versus 288k of whom 83k were deferred 5 years ago. Viewed through a cold financial lens, the tail risks to BT from BTPS should sharply reduce over the coming years.

Bring on 180p...

[giltedge1] 05/6/2024 18:22

Seems cheap at £1.30 forecast £2 Billion free cash flow 2026, £3 Billion 2030, Pension Deficit paid by 2030, Staff numbers falling & sitting on Billions of Copper. Presumably fibre cheaper to maintain than old copper network. Brokers forecast £1.80 by year end.
