I 'm of the understanding that any land owned by private indivduals is a major course of slowing roll outs and increasing cost.

Where you live affects many things in life, at least BT are providing you infinitly more than BT VM are at this new address.

Is my correction what you meant to say?

In reply to a post by worldofadsl:

My complaint is the way they are holding this country back...

They are doing far more than any other telco. All VM is doing is a small (very small) amount of infill and introducing services that not many people really want.

I'm not looking for sympathy I'm point out that BT are failing to provide what could be offered. Sympathy over broadband speed?! What it is, is what it is!

My point is that considering the size of the country BT have been holding back for years. It is all well and good government saying X, Y and Z should be done but if BT don't pull their fingers out it will never happen.

What an absolute load of rubbish... id like to see some evidence about your 2nd statement!

i have been with virgin media and there service is [censored].

i think bt is much better then virgin media!!!


VIRGIN MEDIA ARE A RIP OFF

BT only agreed to cover the cost of installing lines to our building if they had exclusivity on providing services. VM or Telewest was not allowed to install ducting after the developer signed the deal with BT.

In my experience I have never had a problem with them and still use them in my other property.

If you were not happy with that arrangement why move into the building?

Nothing wrong with that agreement - VM could have come to a similar arrangement.

Blame the developer - he was being too stingy to pay the cost of installing the ducting and cabling - as he would have done with gas, electricity, water, drains, sewers &c.
