People that just pass this through, 'on the nod' with little thought.

We've just subsidised BT to extend the reach of Fibre out of UK's exchanges into the outer reaches of the UK.

We're now allowing BT to take over the existing EE's 4G Masts, charge exorbitant per MB rates for measly data allowances that will pass over these fibre backhauls we've paid to install as taxpayers.

Add to this BT Branded Home Femtocells (or worse a new BT/EE 'active' Femto socket with Antenna) and we'll be charged per MB rates for data, that passes over a consumer backhaul, rented 'local loop' equipment & lines, that we already pay to maintain and fibre that we as taxpayers subsidised to install.

Data throughput that will be taking much needed capacity away from the existing BT ADSL/FTTC network, causing congestion on networks we currently use for home broadband, therefore fixed broadband service levels will degrade (further) at peak times.
