Re: Such a Pity The RoW Has Got IT All Wrong

Many pay BT £18.99 a month for basic line rental, yet haven't made a single call on their line last quarter or more probably, the last few years, because the line is just not needed for anything other than as a carrier for Broadband.

Where would BT's income be coming from if they hadn't had billions in handouts to rollout ADSL/FTTC especially in rural locations (with this farce of BT line rental held in place by Ofcom), if more B4RN type projects had taken place instead.

Will be interesting to see how the Gigaclear rollout affects BT in Devon. I'm sure many will say good riddance BT.
