given that british telecom (bt) own all the telephone exchanges in the uk, should they not be under a statutory obligation to bring them all up to broadband standard?  these greedy bastards have a monopoly on telecomms in britain - all other operators having to rent equipment, lines or rack-space from them, so they should have an obligation to service those operators properly.



bt now have a list of over 400 exchanges which they'll never upgrade, regardless of consumer requirements, because it'll cost them too much.



touch shit on bt and its shareholders. they want the profits that come with their monopoly, they should be made to spend the money to achieve it or, better, their monopoly should be removed, brutally and quickly.
