Ungrateful ****. I had a mild frisson of excitement last week when I discovered my exchange was BB enabled. Turned out to be a load of crap. The cunts.
It took me 18 months of campaigning to get our exchange enabled. BT convert the exchanges with campaigns first because the take up is higher. However, unnoffical figures suggest that exchanges with less than 100 lines will never be economic to upgrade. -- Nick Brooks 2001 SV650 (Arriving Today) 2005 GN125 ('till test passed) 1960 SWB SII Landrover 1974 Mercedes Hanomag Camper Van 1997 Golf VR6 Combined vehicle age 88
I thought BT were now going to BB-enable pretty much every exchange in the country, though - can't have long to wait, surely. Also, they're abandoning their loop length limits now, and will be using a "best efforts" approach to getting people online. It'll only be 512k, natch ...
What's the matter with you guys? All these high speed downloads, and none of it is porn. I'm really disappointed in you.
Would that that were the case here. 512k would be nirvana compared to single channel isdn. I'm in Ireland, btw, although BT have an influence, having bought out one of the telcos here and are lending weight to the push for LLU in Irish exchanges.
It's pretty much the same here; I'll have to get a hundred sigs on a declaration of interest before Eircom sit up and take notice. My exchange isn't on the remote future list to be upgraded, in fact it's not on any list at all. Otoh, BB has come to a small town just 4 miles away and opens up the possibility of sharing a connection wirelessly.
