Anyway, these aren't really going to be things on fibre to the prem
Due to the high bandwidth
Just the high cost
Costs which are dropping and we've agreed are dropping <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Brexit really isn't going to impact them tbh
Well, Windows 10 just blue-screened because it's fucking bullet-proof
FIbre to premises will not drop below the base price of broadband currently
Which means it'll be more than double my current outgoings
So no, you can keep it
Of course it will, the costs are lower and competition between virgin and BT will push the prices down
There won't be any competition - they're going to nationalise the infrastructure
> So no, you can keep it
Nothing you can do to stop it 🤷
It's happening anyway
Then the costs could be even lower <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
Since there's less incentive for profit
Lmao
I'll just hack a neighbour
If Labour does get into power then theres a higher chance that it will actually be cheaper kek
yes, but it'll be fucking unreliable

> No, you've made a baseless assertion
You just did that
It's not baseless, it's based on previous experience of a Labour government running public services, and specifically running telecoms
Previous telecoms is not fibre.
There is less to go wrong with fibre.
THe nature of fibre isn't the issue, it's the business culture, and the motivations
So the engineers aren't going to go out and fix the faults anymore?
Probably be far slower to do so
So Labour isn't going to hire enough engineers?
probably not
They're going to need to hire more engineers to scale up the rollout lmao
All Pie in the Sky
We'll be happy with our fibre, you can be angry when you're forced over, it's okay
i'll be poorer
and this will make me angry
We've already agreed the prices will continue to drop <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
except we didn't agree the limit to which they'll drop, which will be the current price of broadband
which is double what i'm paying
But we did agree that the costs are lower for fibre, meaning they can drop lower.
That's at current prices, while the transition is occuring
