Talkback
Cornwall and South Glamorgan? Oh come on BT give it a proper trial. I mean just how many broadband users are there in these remote areas? (exlcuding the sheep, of course)
This is just typical. They roll it out last to the largest cities such as Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow -- or have BT never heard of these places?
8Mbps from BT? I'm still waiting for them to do something to the rural lines so we can get better than 512kbps!
I note that many of the 'trials' have been in urban areas plus Cornwall and Glamorgan. It is the areas where subscribers are more remote from their 'local' exchange that need serious attention. A significant digital divide is opening wider - and that is dangerous.
Why can't we have ADSL2+ authorised and installed now instead of fiddling about with less capable systems?
I am right on the 1mbps borderline so I don't expect to see 8mbps at any time in the distant future.
I hope BT doesn't charge an arm & a leg for this service. UK is already one of the most expensive places to get broadband.
Here we go again, lets rebuild the digital divide, 8mbsp in the lucrative high population density exchanges while 0.5 is the best some of us rural dwellers can get
Aberdeen is the oil producer and production capital of Europe.
Yet the UK and BT seem not to know where Aberdeen is and BT continually fails to provide the fastest communication service to this vital and important city. It seems they are yet again set to FAIL the UK by rolling this service out in bigger but less important business centres in the UK
South Glam contains some of the more populated parts of Wales and any sheep usally gets killed when walking across the M4. About time Wales was one of the first (not counting rugby of course).
Aberdeen is nothing comparred to Dundee; here we've got Jam, Jute and Journalism. Not just that but Desperate Dan too.
Plus you know what they say about people from Aberdeen, they're all pure....
boo hoo, Cornwall gets it before you, we have has much right as anyone else, so why not trial it in Cornwall, or is our money not good enough
Yes, but the number of potential ADSL users in Cornwall hardly comapares to a major city
I agree with Phil Benny!
Also, it's cheaper to trial it in more rural areas than in the big cities, and... if there's any negative feedback it will only be from a minute few compared to the populations of huge cities!
So erm.. boo hoo
I live in south glamorgan and it's great! haha
