In ireland bt refused to pay until the taxpayer spent half of what was needed to get fibre to about 30% of the pop.Then there is the 50p tax on top of that from the london based goverment of which we got 6m from a 590m total budget (800m by 2015)
So after we pay for half of this fibre around the uk bt still gets to own the fibre network and and charge us for it to make HUGE profits? I believe bt profits went up by 40% this quarter due to all the job cuts they made too?
The whole system is a scam and no one can see that we paid for the fibre AND pay for over inflated prices and terrible access.My mum gets 8mb and does not even have 21cn yet when i moved i got 40mb infinity by pure luck.she paid the same as me yet gets 8mb.
So bottom line is bt are a disgusting company.Check out the link below for a laugh they promise 88% fibre coverage by 2012!
