My idea is something administered by the state

I suspect you may not be old enough to remember when the telephone system was administered by the state, as part of the GPO...

I am, and no thank you very much!!

you trying to imply BT's service is good now?

No thanks, not again! Under nationalisation it would be, you want broadband. �Do you know there is a six months waiting list before it can be connected�?

In the days of The GPO at onetime the waiting period for a domestic telephone could be up to two years.

British Telecom is still living with the consequences from being nationalised, that is the problem.

Telephony? Sure... faultless IMO

"Good" is a relative term

I'd agree with GMAN98- the voice side is good by almost any standards, it's improved almost beyond recognition since the GPO days.

The broadband side has, shall we say, room for improvement, and the FTTC rollout is a dog's breakfast.
