... .

Looks like those blessed few honoured by the commercial rollout, so largely in Milton Keynes, along possible with those in Cornwall and BDUK part-funded by our taxes will have all the more reasons to be grateful for their genuine fibre optic broadband.

I guess you mean the same Cornwall where there are no Motorways, inadequate trunk roads and railways, but whose residents have part-funded the same in other parts of the country?

"Swings and roundabouts" springs to mind.

But it's nice to get something first for a change.

Actually the funding for Cornwall Superfast broadband was from the EU, BT and Cornwall Council.

EU funding goes to hundreds of projects in various locations in the UK, just because I do not benefit from some of them does not mean I have a bee in by bonnet about why they receive the funding and I do not.

As our Cornish contingent appear to be so offended by my pointing out the absurdity of an area with less than 8% of the population of the country ...

Can't argue that the area has less than 8% of the population of the country, but I reckon it's actually nearer 1% - or did you mean 0.8% perhaps?

If we came out the EU we could do so much with the 2 Billion we put in every year just to be " in the club" - could we not?

55 million a day is a stupid amount.

Quite agree, however that is not what the thread is about, the OP appears to have a problem with the fact that FTTP has been made available in Cornwall where there is a low population density but is not wildly available elsewhere and appears to think that this is not acceptable, unfortunately a lot of things may appear unfair but it is not the end of the world and you have to just get on with life

You missed out a zero. It's £20bn a year.
