The fibre cometh

Me too. I used to live there.

Rik · Jul 19, 2010, 12:50:35

I know.

Why did you leave? Work?

Simon · Jul 19, 2010, 23:57:12

I was a child when I lived there, from about 3 to 13, so didn't have much choice about having to move.

Was 4 when we moved from London to MK so me neither.

Rik · Jul 20, 2010, 10:21:10

Was 38 when we moved here, and plead insanity.

I like the Isle or Wight I have some good friends there, the place has a special feel if you fit in with the locals, more a community than the mainland

Rik · Jul 20, 2010, 10:33:10

Islands tend to have that effect, Gary, though it can become intrusive.

pctech · Jul 20, 2010, 12:26:29

Out in the sticks in Ireland it is like that too.

We went to stay with some family friends and I was awoken one morning to the sound of someone shouting Hello, Hello!

It turned out to be a cousin of one of the people we were staying with but it was definitely a culture shock for me.

It could have been worse, Mitch, it could have been a leprechaun.

A bit like very small villages where your every move seems to be known by people that know your name even though you have never met them!

Rik · Jul 20, 2010, 16:37:07

Exactly.

Registered my interest in taking FTTC with Zen and they've come back and said that BT have no planned date for installation/activation.

Checked ID's checker too and that says the same

Rik · Aug 06, 2010, 13:30:12

What happened to December, I wonder?

pctech · Aug 06, 2010, 13:31:30

Or maybe the engineers are laying it but BT haven't yet decided when to switch the cabinets on.

Rik · Aug 06, 2010, 13:33:40

They're tossing a coin.

Bill · Aug 06, 2010, 15:27:08

Couple of redundant words on the end there...

Sam Knows not showing an FTTC activation date for my exchange

Maybe he just doesn't know.

Glenn · Aug 13, 2010, 13:24:30

Isn't your exchange is on a trial Mitch, so it possible won't be publicly announced?

pctech · Aug 13, 2010, 13:26:27

I know they were trialling FTTP so maybe I'll get 100 Meg instead provided Zen will service it as I'm not moving to BT for it.

Rik · Aug 13, 2010, 15:48:58

I'll be moving in.
