No, you've made a baseless assertion

2019-11-14 23:59:21 UTC  

I'll believe it when i see it

2019-11-14 23:59:28 UTC  

But all evidence from the past is it won't happen

2019-11-14 23:59:56 UTC  

We already know fibre provides higher speeds. Economies of scale and wladfa are proof the price will drop..

2019-11-15 00:00:20 UTC  

He now has a connection for 75 quid which would have cost 15k 10 years ago

2019-11-15 00:00:36 UTC  

We all have

2019-11-15 00:00:50 UTC  

Maybe not 10 years ago, but 20

2019-11-15 00:00:52 UTC  

So the prices will drop <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-11-15 00:01:00 UTC  

No, the prices will not drop

2019-11-15 00:01:07 UTC  

<:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>

2019-11-15 00:01:13 UTC  

The prices will remain the same or increase, the speed will increase

2019-11-15 00:01:18 UTC  

We've just agreed upon examples of it dropping.

2019-11-15 00:01:36 UTC  

Yes, and those are specific examples of people using premium products

2019-11-15 00:01:55 UTC  

Products which are now becoming the default..

2019-11-15 00:02:21 UTC  

Unlimited internet has always been in the 20-30quid/month region

2019-11-15 00:02:35 UTC  

"Unlimited internet"
What?

2019-11-15 00:02:45 UTC  

20 years ago that'd be dial up, 15 year ago that'd be 256k broadband, these days it's 8-20mb

2019-11-15 00:03:02 UTC  

"unmetered"

2019-11-15 00:04:16 UTC  

That's generally not something companies advertise because it's the norm now

2019-11-15 00:04:27 UTC  

what

2019-11-15 00:04:41 UTC  

By metering, you mean there's a certain amount you can download per month?

2019-11-15 00:05:05 UTC  

yes, usage limits or throttling

2019-11-15 00:05:15 UTC  

Those generally aren't a thing anymore

2019-11-15 00:05:22 UTC  

Unless you're raping it stupid time.

2019-11-15 00:05:23 UTC  

throttling definitely still is

2019-11-15 00:05:31 UTC  

Who are you with?

2019-11-15 00:05:32 UTC  

Virgin media?

2019-11-15 00:05:40 UTC  

Me? No, Plusnet

2019-11-15 00:05:47 UTC  

And it's not a throttled or metered connection

2019-11-15 00:06:33 UTC

> Plusnet does not throttle internet connections unless your account is in failed billing.

2019-11-15 00:06:38 UTC  

Well, that's their statement on it

2019-11-15 00:06:57 UTC  

They commonly used traffic shaping

2019-11-15 00:07:15 UTC  

But that's not terribly relevent here

2019-11-15 00:07:56 UTC  

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
