The Chinese are probably making it look like the Russians did it.

The pentavirate are behind it.

And who do you think hacked DNC and distributed emails via Wikileaks?

Detailed FBi report says it was the Russians, who also had motive to do it.

What like the Russians influenced the Trump election you mean?

For some reason I am not surprised to see idiots who supported Brexit to also support moronic “conspiracy theories”

It's not a bloody airline.

Fiber to the cabinet or fiber to the door doesn't matter - they are classed as landlines. Of course you can disconnect them, you unplug them so that the light signals cannot travel down them.

Landline in the UK got clear meaning - landline phone vs mobile, people who use Virgin Media via coax cable don’t jave landlines unless they opted for phone line on top of coax.

In any case theory of millions Chinese dead from Covid is not possible due to timeframe (1 month before strict mitigation measures), could not have happened - we know it from infection rates/deaths in the West with much laxer lockdowns.

So in conclusion you are an idiot.

Course it is! Didn't you know that? The thin optic fibres float through the air like gossamer spiders' webs. They can go miles

I thought that was the world wide web spun by technology spiders? Thanks for clearing it up.

Ah, so fiber is wireless? Thanks, never knew.

Fiber is not wireless, obviously.

Fiber is not “landline” as in copper piece of tulip that one can “disconnect”.

If you stuck inside without any money (after 2 months welded in) you might lose some services for non-payment - like mobiles, fiber, that’s far more likely than millions supposedly dead (thus requiring 100 mln infections) over period of time that virus could not achieve in lockdown scenario.

If you think otherwise then you are a cretin of the highest order, with people like you no wonder China is so successful in technology and other areas.

Me. I have 4 of them and I also have 5G. Landline is cheaper for non-EU calls

How often Chinese use their “landlines” for presumably more expensive non-China calls?

Who is using landlines now?

Perhaps only 5G nutters

Landline copper used for internet by 3rd world countries like UK - China heavily invested in a fiber to the building heavily -

“ The vast majority of fixed Internet connections in China are fiber-based — typically fiber to the building and then either fiber or copper-based wiring within the building.

As of Q1 2017 there were 310 million fixed-line broadband users with approximately 80% running on optical fiber[1] China has one of the higher rates of fiber penetration in the world (OECD average is 23%[2]), which makes sense because so much of its communications infrastructure, housing stock and commercial real estate has been built in the last decade-and-a-half — the period in which optical fiber technology became commercially feasible to be deployed at the network edge at mass-market scale.

Of course, the typical Chinese user is more likely to access the Internet via their mobile phone and the cellular network. About three quarters of Chinese mobile subscribers (approximately 1 billion) are on 4G/LTE connections, a percentage that compares favorably with North America and Europe[3]. Most Chinese cell towers and stations are already connected to the network via optical fiber-based wireless backhaul infrastructure, providing a robust foundation to accommodate next-generation 5G wireless standards that feature 10 to 20x higher throughput compared to 4G[4].”

What kind of Internet is used in China, fiber, cable, DSL, or something else? - Quora

Landlines FFS, this forum is full of cretins who can’t do basic analysis

People who were stuck at home probably cancelled mobile connection to save money whilst they could still enjoy their high speed home fiber connection.

Is that more likely or China hiding millions of dead over period virus could not have infected that many?

If landlines even gone (and is that even a proven fact?) then far more likely upgrades to far superior fiber (real one, not fiber to cabinet with still copper lines like here)
