Comments on: BT Chairman the only man with broadband in the village http://www.broadbandwatchdog.co.uk/story/2009/12/04/bt-chairman-the-only-man-with-broadband-in-the-village/ Tue, 08 May 2012 08:06:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Florian Lemphers http://www.broadbandwatchdog.co.uk/story/2009/12/04/bt-chairman-the-only-man-with-broadband-in-the-village/comment-page-1/#comment-4426 Florian Lemphers Wed, 13 Jan 2010 05:22:36 +0000 http://www.broadbandwatchdog.co.uk/story/?p=578#comment-4426 Sir/Mdme: I read your story with great interest. I am located in the Yukon Territory in Northern Canada at Lake Laberge which is approx. 30 kms from the nearest exchange. The exchange is located in Whitehorse, Yukon population approx. 28,000 souls. The entire territory which is 482,443 sq. km has only about 35,000 people. How is it possible then, that I have broadband DSL service in my log home on the edge of a lake in northern Canada and the Hambledon area does not have this?? I was referred onto this story by my English relative who lives in Little Freith, as I was trying to set up a Skype connection with him. There seems to be something very odd about the excuses given by the Telcomm provider Sir/Mdme: I read your story with great interest.

The exception obviously Mr Branson, unfortunately i aint got cable so i have to suck up the buck passing of line provider to adsl provider as do we all. 0.5kps 2.5 miles from exchange, sooner someone digs up the whole of the UK and lays cable and puts these lame f****** out of buisiness the better How about working on the fact that most of the BT cabling around the country is sub standard and most people get abot 20% of the expected speed that they would get at the same distance from the exchange from anywhere else in europe.BT are another example of a c*** organisation in the UK mainly brought about by the fact that most chairmen and CEO’s are selfless C*** that dont have a clue about how to get things right unless its in the US handbook of how to BS your way through life.
