Leased lines are not FTTP they are dedicated fibre lines and normally an uncontended service , do not confuse Leased line with FTTP they are not the same and do not come from the same place

In reply to a post by pluralist:

Lobby Lud is a fictional character created in August 1927 by the Westminster Gazette, a British newspaper, now defunct. The character was used in readers' prize competitions during the summer period. Anonymous employees visited seaside resorts and afterwards wrote down a detailed description of the town they visited, without giving away its name. They also described a person they happened to see that day and declared him to be the "Lobby Lud" of that issue. Readers were given a pass phrase and had to try and guess both the location and the person described by the reporters. Anyone carrying the newspaper could challenge Lobby Lud with the phrase and receive five pounds (about £300 in 2021

So Zarjaz's 50p equates roughly to £30 in modern decimal muck.

Bring back the Pound Sterling! With its great logic of farthings, ha'pennies, thruppences, sixpences, shillings, florins, half-crowns and so on. I'm sure today's kids would soon get used to it. 🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘👻

(And for completeness, silver threepences. - not pronounced three pences!)

Oh the Nostalgia - reminds me of spending the odd single thruppence in the early 70's as a treat on sweets. Soon we had the those plastic "Calculators" to calculate Sterling to Decimal. Sorry to the OP for being way off topic, but the 1900's comment was quite funny..
