Levyfor broadband Britain?

Why have they dug up Martha Lane Fox?

She did wonders with the lolly she got from floatation

No, you're jealous. Because there's more Porsches, Ferraris, Bentlys and Bollinger bought in Cheshire than anywhere else in the UK except London.

Sounds like a mixture of cheap housing and chips on shoulders. And women who are orange!

PS: I live in London btw.

PPS:

Bentleys

They also announced an upgrade to the digital radio network. You know that DAB thing that nobody uses! I have it in my car and it's fine in built up areas but rubbish when you drive out of towns - but I can't get all the stations on it anywhere up north

I've use DAB and I love it!

Although I only listen to Classic FM, and BBC Radios 4&7. Don't care about the rest and there is no fraking chance of me ever going up north in this quantum reality.

Don't get me wrong - I like it, I listen to planet rock all the time when I'm driving about. It's just annoying that it is so badly implemented. I checked on the postcode checker and it indicates that I can get some sations and should get other. Well I can't get the whole lot with Kerrang on it unless I drive down to Birmingham - and I'm not about to start doing that. But this still somehow means they have met their 90% target of coverage - I'd say 90% of partial coverage. But without full coverage you are not going to get people to take it up, especially when internet radio gives tons more stations.

Why cant people move to where there is a fast broadband conection FFS?

If people want to live and the countryside, have slow broadband and spend their spare time molesting squirrels then fine. Let em.

*Never knew 5 min walk from Canary Wharf was the "countryside" (best con I can get is about 1.5mb)

But that said...why are we paying a "tax" for a private network? (belongs to BT and other telco's)I t's not like we are all going to get subsidised/free broadband for this.

And 2mb min? In this day and age they should be aiming for everyone to have min of 8mb or more
