Total bollocks in my area.

I am still on copper cabling, its shite, as you can well imagine.

1.2 MiBS download and 100 kibs upload, my granny can run faster and she is dead

received a letter in July last year claiming that fibre was being installed in my area. So I contacted them for an install.

For the first 6 months, weekly updates which were mainly apologies for wasting my time and effort.

They said it was an issue with my landlord. I contacted my landlord, they are keen to get Fibre installed.

then it was the usual excuse; MDU - Multi Dwelling Unit. We dont do MTU's

One small block of 6 flats in a road where every house in teh road has full fibre but they cant be bothered to supply 6 flats

I got a new router delivered as a christmas present, fuck knows what I am supposed to do with that. maybe I can stick it up the engineers arse when he arrives in 2030.

Absolutely no contact since december 2025.

wankers
