RE: Breakthrough News For Road Warriors - From Terry Brock on the Road
Bandwidth is a real pain in most of rural England and because we have a monopoly (Openreach formerly BT) running the network; even the hotspot functions on my phone are pretty non usable.
We need a more competitive telecomms market here.
Happy to see you don't have the same drawbacks over there. Terry.
Have fun in the snow :-)
Thank you, @molometer. Yes, it seems a bit better here. I'm using that connection even now as I type this. It is much faster than the hotel's connection --- and more secure.
I didn't realize it was called Openreach now. Thanx for the update.
Always very good to hear from you.
Terry
BT was forced by the government to sell off Openreach into a separate company which maintains the network and in doing so turned a monopoly into a duopoly.
Only in Britain hey? lol
Sounds like something a government would do. Oh well, at least we're getting access to the Net. Hope you are doing very well, my friend!
