In reply to a post by MrSaffron:

Now repeat after me - FTTP resolves every known problem that exists with the Internet today.

FTTP also will never need upgrading.
FTTP outlasts copper.
FTTP does not need ugly cabinets.
FTTP is cheaper to deploy than everyone claims.

Now what else do they keep saying?

will screen this for later use haha

Or realistic about the real requirements. Can be very much for technology but still understand it doesn't solve all the worlds ills and sometimes the cost outweighs the benefits. Broadband is great but it isn't a panacea.

Bingo

E-health is a prime example touted as a gigabit driver but the most demanding tech usually demo'd is a skype robot

As a nation I think many would agree reducing demand for food banks is more important than broadband

I dont disagree about food banks, but at the same time I am not openly compaigning against FTTP.
