Re: Tell BT and EE

BT is due to do something similar later this year: home.bt.com/news/bt-life/bt-offers-breakthrough-service-to-divert-huge-numbers-of-nuisance-calls-11364039280071

Re: Serious margin!

But Openreach invested 337m over the same period which comes out of their 300m operating profit - so the rest of BT subsidised Openreach's Capex spending to the tune of over 10%...

Re: Lets Cap all Senior BT Management and Politicians.

Adam,

You have spouted so many ill informed facts that it totally drowns out any legimate argument you may have.

For instance:

1. FTTrN / FTTdP has been deployed by Openreach in some places and more will come.

2. Virtually all the reputable studies show that the bandwidth needs of the UK population - both sme business or residential - will be well under a 100mb for years to come.

3. g.fast is already capable of a lot more than 330mb and at longer distances than 250m. It will get both faster and have a even longer reach as the technology develops - perhaps a gb or more - and that's without bonding. With bonding, the speeds are even faster.

4. There are already several tweaks to g.fast to make it better and a successor technology on the drawing board (xg.fast). They have already got 4/5gb over copper in labs.

If you reflect these rather basic errors/issues perhaps others would take your points more seriously.

Even where firms offer FTTP or ultra fast speeds now, most users only sign up to the slowest packages.

Gosh, what a huge shock: Ofcom shies away from BT Openreach split, calls for reform

Re: USO?

You ask 'Why no Universal Service Obligation recommendation?'

That's because its not Ofcom's job - the Government have already decided on a new 10MB USO and plan to consult on it later this year..

Why the consultation? Well as the other replies to your post point out - someone has to a) pay for it and b) implement it - the question is who or what combination of parties..

Re: Just wondering

These planes are updated versions of existing models. The main difference is a new more powerful/fuel efficient engine - otherwise know as the 'new engine option' or neo

Bank turns London man into RFID-enabled guinea pig

Not as bad as it may sounds..

its worth noting that if you do use your debit/credit card for contactless payments - these systems will still ask for your PIN number once at least once in every 10 transactions.

So the banks are limiting their liability for a lost card to under £100
