Title: BT boss has only broadband home
Post by: Simon on Nov 30, 2009, 20:10:36
British Telecom (BT) has admitted its chairman is the only person in a village on the Oxfordshire-Buckinghamshire border with broadband.

Other people in Hambleden were told they could not have broadband because of the distance to the exchange.

So, if he's the chairman, who is Rik's mate, Livingstone?  The cleaner?  :)x

It doesn't say fibre hasn't laid "BT said Sir Michael Rake's connection was part of a trial of new technology"

True, but fibre is narrowband and the article says he is the only person with broadband in the village. Of course, the reports always know what they are talking about...
