Internet in the UK - getting worse (relative to EU + world)

When you order FTTC fibre broadband, do Openreach still need to visit your property like they did back in the day when FTTC was a new thing?

I don't think so. I think they only visit your house if your ordering G.fast and FTTP services.

Some people don't like change.

I'm not surprised.

Others part of Europe invests in their whole country. Perfect examples are Germany and Switzerland. The UK, which really is only England invests in London and London only.

Why are they building HS2.....to improve the train link in the country.....no.....its to benefit London and London only. Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and the other connections due to be on the line they don't give two hoots about.

As for Broadband, well ours on the whole beats the US but you never see the likes of Google Fibre over here unless Virgin pulls their finger out.

London has terrible internet mate full of congestion and new properties stuck at 6-8mb with nobody willing to do anything about it.

To be honest I don't remember a time where the UK was not behind in terms of broadband but it has gotten even worse.

My broadband switch from EE to Plusnet has now gone through, but the upload is still the same crap.
