Title: Replacing the 'final mile'
Post by: Glenn on Dec 12, 2009, 12:16:17
I just heard on the local news, of a company that are starting to roll out Fibre to the home through the sewers http://fibrecity.eu/

There's been a few of the schemes already, was it Bournemouth where they did the trial?

They need to speed up their website, it is so slow.

Yes, it is Bournemouth. They hope to take it around the UK with several local authorities interested.

Won't you be in the area for BT's fibre trial, or is Bradwell Abbey the wrong exchange?

Wrong exchange. :( I'm on Wolverton, which is odd given I live in Bradwell...

You aren't kidding !  Shoved in my postcode and nothing  seemed  to happen for about an aon  :dunno:   Eventually told me to get lost of course  -
I assumed the S/W  was having a good laugh, " take a look here, some guy in Hicksville reckon we are  daft enough  to fibre link that  shed in the woods  they call an exchange" - I mean I know there is zero chance of anyone providing any alternative to BT out here , but  I live in hope  :)
