Las Vegas crooks go mad for copper

Hrm..

Hang on.. if they started pulling that stunt over here.. would BT replace the nicked copper with fibre? ;)

ISPs hijack BBC in tiered services push

You cant pin it all on ofcom

How can you pin it all on ofcom, its bt who are not putting any money into a new network.. theres only so much bandwidth we can pull from the local loop.. the capacity simply is not there in the exchanges for everyone to do what they want.. regardless of the bt wholesale costs.. they could be £350/mbit or £5/mbit.. if the exchanges cant handle it we're just playing 'pass the contention'

BT have no right to piss and moan about the cost either, every adsl line activated in the uk costs ~£60 ? As the copper network has paid for itself 100 times over.. BT should have taken that money and used it to upgrade the exchanges.

As previously said by mrs doyle - Light the fibre!
