MPs tell BT: Lay more fibre or face split with Openreach

BT and Openreach are regulated. Ofcom is culpable in this state of affairs, possibly more so than BT.

Wrong target?

If the collective whinging about OR has any basis in fact doesn't that reflect badly on the regulator as much as BT?

A truly SHOCKING tale of electrified PCs

Messy

I was commissioning a 3 phase industrial oil pump yonks ago whilst under instructions from upon high not to buzz out the wiring because of time constraints. My supervisor says "let her go" so I press the start button and the pump starts. The problem was that the cabling contractor had reversed two phases so the pump ran backwards, pressurised the low pressure piping and blew no end of gaskets whilst showering the pump enclosure in hydraulic fluid. Exit, whistling nonchalantly.
