DEnmark is lovely, but everything costs what it will here after Brexit bites so yeah the barrier to leave has greatly reduced I guess!
Virgin have no presence in Cornwall at all. And they have no plans to ever expand into Cornwall.Quote:

"Not economically viable."
Don't worry, we're doing our best to force them all out :) Most stressful conditions just about anywhere in Europe; most over-worked; most under-staffed; under-paid and not at all appreciated. Because we hate the public sector here.Quote:

They dug up my road to install fibre months ago and it's still not available with my ISP. Wonder how much the delay is on average between install and customer availability...
presumably there is stuff to do with connecting things at hubs and exchanges and not just digging the trench in the road. Did they definitely lay the cables or was it just earthworks?Quote:

And after that ( though not many was there ) we was told fiber is on the way, and about a year later i was hooked up.
I mean we had to do the same thing with ADSL back in the day - was based around interest (i.e. expected demand and therefore profit). Local area got active and drummed up enough interest to get us bumped up the priority list.
Will the cash saved be passed to us/paying back the funds, or end up in someone's pocket?
About three weeks ago we had Opeanreach around my neck of woods (rural Co. Durham) putting fibre up on the telephone poles (seems to work in Portugal... though the cable tidying is... unique :D ).
I checked the other week to see if FTTP was available and we've got a theoretical max speed of 900/100 (from Zen, prices seem to be averaging in the £70-80 mark across the various providers at this speed). How long it'd take to get it hooked up on the other hand... So what money has been spent seems to be doing something in a few places at least.
I signed up with BT for FTTP back in August after I received the email to say it was active in my street. The BT guy came out to install the service, only to find that while the fibre connection was installed at the base of the phone pole, it wasn't connected at the top! I've been waiting for Openreach to sort out the problem ever since.
God I rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishing love this Brexit mess we got ourselves into
Not quite sure what massively blowing the budget supporting Covid relief efforts meaning they had to cut back on loads of other things has to do with Brexit...?Quote:
