Which BT$ idiots write these things?

I'm surprised as the past 20 years have
been a disaster with third world
countries having faster broadband that UK
with prices averaging a pound or less per megabyte!

Energis has already called for breaking
up BT$ so there is no reason for BT$ to
smooth things over with denials and start
resisting.

Something like, "Look at me, I'm a wanker" I suspect.

You hate BT, yeah we get it already. Unfortunately most of us our stuck with
them so no amount of bitching is ever going to change that.

Surely you got more important things to worry about if not you are a very
sad man.

What are you talking about "a pound or less a megabyte".
Makes no sense.

Exactly what it means. Some countries already have better
than a UK pound per 1mb link speeds. We are at around 4 pounds
a megabyte cheapest I know of.

And almost all of those countries then charge per MB transferred.

What is more, those countries can not reasonably be described as
"third world" in terms of technology.

When you look at *overall* cost of average usage, the UK is actually
among the best in Europe, in spite of what many like to think.

ah.. now I see the typo there - its pound per megabit link speed.

No - they have unlimited unmetered services - its a lot of headache
to add in metering.

Now you are taking the piss as I commissioned and installed them.
I'm totally fscked whenever I'm back here.
You just can't do anything without some idiot asking
for more money than what its worth anywhere else in the world.
