'Leave EU means...' WHAT?! Britons ask Google after results declared

Re: "thats democracy after all"

that applies to both sides....everyone involved talked rubbish & lied, (notice how quiet it is considering Dave & Tusk's promised Armageddon?), so surely the effect of feeding garbage to the masses balances out?

How will Ofcom reduce our reliance on BT if it won't break them up?

splitting off Openreach wont change anything. Openreach will then become the monopoly, still owning all the infrastructure. The only answer is to legally oblige Openreach/BT to take fibre into all premises, & then allow all ISPs to compete fore the customers

97% of UK gets 'basic' 2Mbps broadband. 'Typical households' need 10Mbps – Ofcom

Re: @skipper409

nice troll

just to be clear....I get 1.5 Mbs - thats because I tampered with my router's SNR settings. My less knowledgeable neighbours manage 256 kBs. I dont get mains gas. I dont get mains sewers. My mobile signal (literally) requires me to be upstairs in one particular room, & the weather needs to be good. I live in the middle of a village in the Midlands of England, so goodness knows how people in remote places cope. All these services are necessary to have a modern home life, so the Government needs to get off its collective backside & provide it, or force the utilities to invest. Crass comments for those 'with' are not required!
