This is the most appalling waste of tax payers money, its just pork barreling at its finest.
How is this going to help regenerate the local economy there? Most of those who live their are either retired old people who moved down there, or ill-educated under achievers.
Without an industry to take advantage of this, all that will happen is the retired people / pot smoking dole scum will just pirate things faster. I suppose the cornish have a history of that.
What exactly is this, BT FTTC?
Well going by your view of cornwall my guess is you must have lived there for quite some time and indulged in the aforementioned pot smoking while lolling around on the dole.Quote:

Anyway, assuming you had been burdened with enough intelligence to look at these issues objectively, I'm guessing your immediate response is just emotional nonsense.
Cornwall is piss poor. It doesn't attract many people down there who are not retired.
It has no road infrastructure, it has no skill bases. It lacks a university, it has soggy white-labeling to other ones.
What is this going to achieve, how will it pay for itself? Couldn't that money have been better spent on something else? I'm struggling to see what industry is going to emerge around a bunch of high speed broadband for those who are undereducated (by national averages) and horrific under achievers (by national averages) for the working population aged 25-65.
TBH,would using Wimax or a wireless broadband make more sense for less population dense areas of the country?
This is just an experiment by BT haha...
well lets see . lacks a university.. hmm so i guess the 6 below are a figment of my imaginationQuote:

No road infastructure so google maps lies when im looking at the M5, the
A30, the A39 etc.
as for what could be 12 stars long. sorry hexus really wont let me repeat that one, i guess you will have to use your limited resources to work it out.
under achievers? well lets see
St Austell is a specialist A-level centre and students enjoy very high success rates across all subjects. the College achieved 100 per cent pass rate in 30 subjects and an overall pass rate of 98 per cent, which was above the national average
seems like there below average record was when you lived down there and obviously rose significantly since you left.
As for what/who does this benefit. well im guess as its a test centre for a national roll out anyone who signs up and pays for BT's broadband will most likely gain some benefit from it, and BT will certainly Profit and recouperate the costs within no time.
All in all your whole response was to just flame cornwall and its people so maybe when you can come back with something useful and constructive to say then people might listen. but of course if you wish to carry on in your uneducated factually inaccurate way i will of course be quite happy to continue making you looking an even bigger plebian than the one you already portray of yourself
You do know the first two are the only universities, and they are erm, in Devon, not Cornwall.Quote:

Erm, the M5 stops at Exeter, which as I said above, isn't in Cornwall.Quote:

The A30 isn't even dual carriage way all the way down, granted the recent Indian Queens bypass has helped immensily, as there used to be tailbacks a good twenty miles long without fail in the summer.
ROLFMAO. Wow they are really working hard to compete with the M5 corridor! St. Austell College is one of the worst, everyone who wants to study something remotely decent has to go to Truro College.Quote:

maybe geography is a weak point of yours.. who really knows as you spend far to much trolling forums
Can only conclude one thing 10,000+ posts equals attention whore
PS did you also vote to leave Britney alone?
You do know what white-labeling means right?Quote:

And lets be honest, 50% of the population going to uni was a sick joke, most of them did bull**** degrees that industry had no desire for. As such now with everyone charging £7-9k (most charging the max) who in their right mind would study at a branch of a Uni in Cornwall, they aren't even offering any particularly useful subjects there.
You'd have to be a right idiot to begin to debate that a degree from Exeter whitelabelled in Cornwall or via Truro College even (yes, even they will let you get a degree, and they are a little bit more respectable than my spam bin ones) is on the same league as one from Bristol say.
So fewer people are forecast to be going to uni, Cornwall has no reason to attract them, hmm, its not hard to spot where the trend is going to be there is it!
Given we banned TheAnimus (a long standing, and usually upstanding member) for less - we'll see you after you've had 7 days to consider what is appropriate in the context of a debate.Quote:

dangel 2/3rds of my opening post was serious, thats quite a record for me.....
I also stand by how silly this is, granted from BT POV it might be a good test due to the distance between cabinet and exchange been, I'd imagine, further than average.
Now insulting the entire region, its 'below average'. They have an incredibly large set of NEETs, a shed load more old people than normal. Combine this with failure to obtain higher education, high rate of petty crime per head, VERY high amounts of drug/substance abuse.
It is in dire need of regeneration, its objective 1 for a reason. It is not my personal insult, its the EU.
However I really fail to see how rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishing this money on broadband will help.
broadband WILL help in Cornwall.....
good speeds are a rareity for many of the people down there..... and that's not fair.
BT want to do it in Cornwall as they seem to think if they can do it there they can do it anywhere.Quote:

This is quite possibly the dumbest post i have ever read on here, total drivel based on your sole opinion.
Just to know, what town/city did you live at while there?
