Anyway, these aren't really going to be things on fibre to the prem

2019-11-15 00:08:01 UTC  

Due to the high bandwidth

2019-11-15 00:08:15 UTC  

Just the high cost

2019-11-15 00:08:29 UTC  

Costs which are dropping and we've agreed are dropping <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-11-15 00:09:20 UTC  

Brexit really isn't going to impact them tbh

2019-11-15 00:11:41 UTC  

Well, Windows 10 just blue-screened because it's fucking bullet-proof

2019-11-15 00:12:51 UTC  

FIbre to premises will not drop below the base price of broadband currently

2019-11-15 00:13:03 UTC  

Which means it'll be more than double my current outgoings

2019-11-15 00:13:10 UTC  

So no, you can keep it

2019-11-15 00:14:44 UTC  

Of course it will, the costs are lower and competition between virgin and BT will push the prices down

2019-11-15 00:15:04 UTC  

There won't be any competition - they're going to nationalise the infrastructure

2019-11-15 00:15:05 UTC  

> So no, you can keep it
Nothing you can do to stop it 🤷

2019-11-15 00:15:09 UTC  

It's happening anyway

2019-11-15 00:15:21 UTC  

Then the costs could be even lower <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

2019-11-15 00:15:25 UTC  

Since there's less incentive for profit

2019-11-15 00:15:26 UTC  

Lmao

2019-11-15 00:15:40 UTC  

I'll just hack a neighbour

2019-11-15 00:15:47 UTC  

If Labour does get into power then theres a higher chance that it will actually be cheaper kek

2019-11-15 00:16:12 UTC  

yes, but it'll be fucking unreliable

2019-11-15 00:16:19 UTC  

and censored

2019-11-15 00:16:47 UTC  

You just did that

2019-11-15 00:17:14 UTC  

It's not baseless, it's based on previous experience of a Labour government running public services, and specifically running telecoms

2019-11-15 00:17:45 UTC  

Previous telecoms is not fibre.

2019-11-15 00:17:51 UTC  

There is less to go wrong with fibre.

2019-11-15 00:18:05 UTC  

THe nature of fibre isn't the issue, it's the business culture, and the motivations

2019-11-15 00:18:27 UTC  

So the engineers aren't going to go out and fix the faults anymore?

2019-11-15 00:18:37 UTC  

Probably be far slower to do so

2019-11-15 00:19:49 UTC  

So Labour isn't going to hire enough engineers?

2019-11-15 00:20:05 UTC  

probably not

2019-11-15 00:20:16 UTC  

They're going to need to hire more engineers to scale up the rollout lmao

2019-11-15 00:21:07 UTC  

All Pie in the Sky

2019-11-15 00:22:33 UTC  

We'll be happy with our fibre, you can be angry when you're forced over, it's okay

2019-11-15 00:22:43 UTC  

i'll be poorer

2019-11-15 00:22:54 UTC  

and this will make me angry

2019-11-15 00:22:57 UTC  

We've already agreed the prices will continue to drop <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-11-15 00:23:14 UTC  

except we didn't agree the limit to which they'll drop, which will be the current price of broadband

2019-11-15 00:23:20 UTC  

which is double what i'm paying

2019-11-15 00:23:30 UTC  

But we did agree that the costs are lower for fibre, meaning they can drop lower.

2019-11-15 00:23:41 UTC  

That's at current prices, while the transition is occuring
