No? Really?! Wow. Bolt from the blue!
Sounds great.

Rik · May 13, 2010, 16:55:06

All we need is BT to lay the fibre, Ben.

Lance · May 13, 2010, 16:57:05

I'm not getting fibre for years

Rik · May 13, 2010, 16:57:44

That is a shame, Lance.

adamr8965 · May 13, 2010, 17:03:19

Rik · May 13, 2010, 17:06:49

Some people may bypass WBC altogether and go straight to fibre.

adamr8965 · May 13, 2010, 17:11:27

My exchange has no date for WBC, but does have a date for fibre, hopefully a very nice xmas pressie

Rik · May 13, 2010, 17:42:35

We're both writing to Santa then, Glenn.

Glenn · May 13, 2010, 17:44:32

I sent it off earlier

Gary · May 13, 2010, 17:44:45

Mine has no dates for either

I might have to get in contact with the parish council and whip up some support for some kind of "we need modernisation" plan of attack, not that it will do much good I imagine.

I may not be able to get it Gary, I can't find any BT street cabinets in my area, I think I need to hijack a BT chap to findout where it is.

I hope you do Glenn, our Cabinet is about 400 yards away.

Slow speeds then, Gary.

Well with Fibre it would be great, but no WBC date, no 3G, no fibre, our village only has BT as its telco at the exchange, our village is in danger of being left in the dark ages

I'm not moaning at my speeds now, but as time goes on I just wonder what will happen to our ancient exchange.

Rik · May 13, 2010, 18:08:51

Rutland Telecom will move in.

I have written an email to the Clerk of the Parish, there is a lot of old Money here, maybe just maybe someone would like to look at the situation and think on what it means for the small businesses here etc, one can but try to get some enthusiasm going.

cavillas · May 13, 2010, 19:49:38

I think I'll have to look for the first exchanges to change over and move there. It will be quicker than waiting for wbc here, round about early/mid 2011.

Join the club as I am in exactly the same position.

I'd have hoped that Wrexham would get an upgrade (I say this without knowing how much it'd cost me!) but it seems a lot of near by areas are being done first. We're not even on any tables at the moment.

Booooo
