I live in a small rural communty affected by the collapse of Aramiska. I'm having to use dial-up to post this so I'm not totally cut off. However, before everyone blames Aramiska for their woes, how about looking back a couple of years? How was BT allowed to claim that the roll-out of broadband was complete in the UK when it plainly wasn't? The exchange in the village of Plaistow, West Sussex has only something like 175 subscribers so it was never going to reach BT's magic 250 trigger level. Why was BT permitted to ignore the plight of small communities like this? When you concider the enormous profits that BT regularly declare 4 or 5 exchanges in England could, surely, have benefitted from a little largesse from such a giant or would someones head have rolled for deminishing some shareholders' dividend? I'm personally disgusted with BT (in case you hadn't noticed).
