That doesn't mean you aren't all inbred, just that you're less aware of it cos fathers are this mythical figure...

 

[Phate]

This is true, it gets confusing at times but then again ignorance is bliss!!

Don't wanna be one of 'those' people, but why are there so many recent broadband/internet threads appearing here?

Don't forget Isles of Scilly, we'll be joining you Cornwall mainlanders in the speed explosion!

Indeed. On a tech forum, it's madness!

I wouldn't get too excited...

BT and Cornwall Council are working together using European funding to give 90% of Cornish businesses access to a fibre-optic connection.

Was about to say the same thing as above.

Doesn't say anywhere in the text that its available to residential customers.

Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!

As for businesses meh initially, anyway me uncle is a bt area manager down this way, sure i can wrangle some info from him.

Personally im all for this convergence funding, cornwall has always been one of the last in line to get anything with regards to our government, despite being one of the largest counties and it's rapidly growing.

Oh and to cheer you up some moar, fast lte mobile broadband is also being trialled down this way, kinda makes up for all those virgin users harping on about their 50mbit when we get chuff all down here

It would not make commercial sense to enable and exchange but deny general public access to it.

Dundee in Scotland is getting or has already got fibre to the home thanks to the "fibrecity" outfit.

 

[kwerk]

How fast is it going to be?

1000 mbit download
1 mbit upload

It does if it is fibre to the home or even cab and they don't have to dig them all up.

cornwall does seem silly and doesn't seem like the logical place to start if you want to make money but government funded and is good practice for a full roll out I suppose.

Then you just sign up for a business account, hardly difficult!
Of course it will cost a bit more than a residential account but I'd be more than happy to pay the extra for the bandwidth

 

[FoxEye]

It's residential as well as business.
