BT chief: People don't need fibre to the home

Try this

I think we should apply the same principles to his and other excetutives' pay, and formally link them with laws and other legal constraints: "Your salary will be up to £600,000, though contention amongst other executives and company performance to its customers may mean the actual salary is lower." Then stick them on £18,000 as a perfectly adequate salary. If they argue about it, say "It is an adequate salary for a family to live on, and it does not contravene the advertised conditions of the job. We could make it larger, but there is no real call for it unless other changes are brought into play." I think we would see marked changes in pretty swift order to the broadband connections with little or no comeback, because, basically, if other countries can do it, there are few reasons why the UK cannot do it.

Thus passes to C&W

Inertia may just be overcome now

Being almost 55, I guess I'm in that old fogey category now: I must have been one of the first to sign up with Demon just after it started. I've kept with them because of inertia, and more pressing matters that meant I just didn't think I had the time or inclination to do the deed of changing ISP. However, in the past year, I've begun to move my email to a separate provider just in case this kind of thing happened. It looks like inertia will now be finally overcome if things go now as anticipated.
