London produces very little - it makes money from tourists, and I'm afraid tourists don't have landlines to get broadband, so why don't you offer us services
----------------------
I am certainly not going to enter into the economics and fiscal policies of london. But I have seen many of your comments both here and elsewhere over a very long period of time, maybe it is the age gap and your dreaming of 15 mins of fame. But if you check the 'southern' BT exchanges waiting for upgrades, plus those who will never get upgraded, against those in the 'North' as you put it, per population head /area. We have far less than you.
Our so called rural (most heavily populated southern and South eastern areas) have nothing, absolutley nothing, except bad roads, huge 'new' properties on green belt land to serve the wealthy northerner's, no buses, no new hospitals, few banks, no Post office's, an ill conceived notion on 2 way satellite (which I have - for business) which does very little to solve a solution. Remember the fast area of london is mainly a migratory working capital, millions go home each day to the rural areas to their 56k modems or if they are really lucky they may have ISDN, and if they are really really lucky maybe a litte cable or adsl. I waited 6 years to recieve ISDN,I have had it 7 days, and have already been ripped off by my umpteenth ISP. Yes I know all the regulars in here, who have suffered as well.
123ISP!well that is another story.
So next time stop the North / South divide bulls..t it does nothing for no one, your the type of person who will bring race into it next.?
It would help us all, if you were to spend more time trying to expand the Broadband in UK, start fighting for it, lobbying your MP, lobbying WI-FI companies, Lobbying EuroLand, visiting (or even better start one yourselve) other campaigning sites and join in.
And personally, a note which has a lot to do with 'Broadband Britain' well I say "send the current bunch of money grabbing half whit politicians back to where they came from, and lets have people in who can do the job". Now I wonder where the vast majority of this union led, lying, spin doctoring moronic lot came from.? Talk about calling the kettle black.!
