Having an aim is all well and good, however, having had a chat with a man at BT and a woman at SCC I think the aim will be well wide of the mark

Just checked my download & upload speed,both about 0.29mb I marvel at the speed!!!

What is the deadline the government set for a fast broadband service in this country?

Spring 2016 is the target date for 97% fibre internet for Staffordshire

That's according to Staffordshire County Council

If you ask BT, who are being paid to deliver it, they say they have no planned dates for finishing the job..

Just a bit of a 'poke', really...

If your intertubes are connected via BT, you can get BT Sport through those tubes. If you don't have the requisite 'box' for the TV you can choose to access it on-line only.

I say this because for a while i was unaware that i could do so, perhaps someone out there is likewise unaware and is consequently missing out.

Those on the edge of town ( really dirty carrot country ) are saved the painful Owentones

haha, you're right there. he was crap after his injuries and carried on for years at clubs hardly playing, yet refused to go anywhere not in the premier league or places that couldn't afford him. he spent more time with the horses than with a ball. now he commentates as crap as the last 8-9 years of his 'playing' career

no sign of it being done here. i keep asking for it. i'd much rather have reduced prices than higher speeds though

 

[John Marwood]

What are people paying for their super-duper or non super-duper internet these days?

Overheard conversations indicate creeping price rises
