Story: Broadband supremo calls for grass-roots revolution
Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 1 August 2003, 8:51 AM)
As someone who lives in a Rural area, and who is UNLIKEY in the near future or IF ever to have access to broadband, I would like to ask WHY BT charge Rural people the same line rental, and call charges as they do those who can and do receive NOT only Broadband, but other services such as Call waiting, and 151..
We are not even privileged with these updates from BT....
We pay the same going rate, so we SHOULD get the same service.....
It is time the TRIGGER levels were disbanded, and BT were made to upgrade ALL of the exchanges they have, as it is ALL of the people who PAY for the use of the BT service, NOT just the CITY and large towns folk....
After all, the other draw back to living in a rural area is that we ARE STUCK with BT.......
Surely it is time to treat all of there customers as ONE, and spend some of the profits they have reaped over the years on updating what is utterly OUT of date exchanges.
IF not, then the government should be stepping in, and making sure that there is NO discrimination against them that earn a living working in Rural countryside...
We already pay through the nose in higher shop prices, and dearer petrol costs.
When is someone going to realise that we are TAX payers also, and NOT Aliens........
