FTTx Dates

[Rik]

I probably will at that.

[.Griff.]

Live and coming soon lists have been updated again today.

[Rik]

I await your call.

Flyer from local Lib dem councillor crowing about the fact Fibre to the cab is available in North Furzton (though he is saying BT Infinity is available and does not say other suppliers are available) and the 'free' trial of FTTP until October.


Going to mail and correct him on his confusion of a technology with a brand name but also to ask why neither I nor my ISP can find out how much FTTP will be when the trial is over.

[Rik]

Go get him, Mitch. Lib-Dem by any chance?

[pctech]

Yep lib dem as I said (the back end of the particular pantomime horse currently occupying 10 Downing Street)

[Lona]

Talking of horses, Scotland is always at the "Coo's Tail" when it comes to Broadband.

[pctech]

It's all those mountains Lona.

All lists updated today.

Woop woop! My exchange is now down for 2012

I think the Welsh Assembly should nationalize/confiscate the telecom infrastructure in Wales because BT continues to concentrate only on England & Scotland for fibre.

[JB]

Well it will never happen in this part of rural Cheshire. MRCOM is the exchange and it doesn't feature on any future planning document.

[psp83]

God damnit! My exchange was due for end of this month, but now its 1st december!! 

[Lance]

At least it is still in 2011

[pctech]

Woop woop! My exchange is now down for 2012 

You sure that wasn't the sound of da police? 

[.Griff.]

First two PDF's updated again this weekend.

Would a mod mind changing the date in my opening post to 14th October.

[Lance]

Thanks Griff.

All done

[.Griff.]

Thanks Lance 

[Steve]

Thanks Griff for the update.

[Niall]

My exchange is listed now, but sadly they think Wrexham is in a county that ceased to exist years ago, so I don't hold out much hope.

[Jimbo]

4 Months to go.... I can't wait to hopefully see a speed increase of 700%! 

[Rik]

Do you know what you'll do with it, Jimbo? I look at fibre, and think I'd like it for the new technology and the speed, but then I wonder whether I need the speed - if the forum loads 10x faster it will make little difference to me. I've never seen the point of streaming video when I've got the ability to record two satellite and two Freeview channels whilst watching another in either medium or, of course a Bluray or DVD.  I don't make a habit of big d/l, so I'm struggling to justify the move.

[Niall]

To me, it's the time saved with speed, not the quantity that it would allow me to download. My god, the time saved would be immense, especially when uploading photos, and downloading games through steam. Why with all that time, I could take over the world
