Am I the only one around herewho won't be self-isolating unless I I am isolated at gunpoint?
kek
You heard it here first - not going to happen
Not whilst there is a hole in my backside
Doubt
Serves him right for having a shit company that won't fix my broken broadband
Go with another company @Eccles free market and all
It's infrastructure - there is no another company
Nationalise BT again
That wouldn't actually solve the problem
In fact, if you speak to anyone over the age of.. say 50.. you'll find it was equally as bad, throughout it's existence, if not worse, when it was nationalised
Yes true but do you believe the level of investment that is needed to bring it up to proper service can be provided by BT?
Yes
wrong
Not wrong
My broken broadband could have been fixed on the first engineers visit
Today will be my fourth
but you should live with it
and wait for them to do it
Caused by faulty processes
Inadequate oversight
sounds like companies problem
Nope
who's is it then
Of course i live with it and wait for them to do it - i don't have any choice
It's BT's problem
Like I just said
> sounds like companies problem
@faultfiction
did you not read this?
company, not companies
but it would still be the same problem were it a public body
the problem is not the method of ownership
the problem is shit people making shit decisions
there is no systemic solution to this
let me give you an example of how incompetent private companies are. When BT was part privatised in the 80s, they did a report on the efficiency of copper wires. They realised it was quite bad for digital communication and very unreliable. They set up a fibre optic implementation program and two companies to manufacture parts and components and they found that fibre optic was cheaper than copper implementation
guess what they went with?
Companies don't have the investment capacity to invest and widen their service base. Governments can do it
