UK Broadband – Why its all BT’s Fault :(
Have a look at this.
The UK is supposed to be one of the worlds biggest super powers, yet we have some of the most out-dated and slow telecoms infrastructures in the world.
In laymans terms, this means that we are doomed to the current crap broadband speeds for some time to come.
Why is this? The reason is BT (British Telecom) (and the 80′s Tory government).
Since they were privatized in the 80′s its all become about the money. They do everything as cheaply as possible so that they can make the most money out of us poor suckers.
It galls me that countries like Korea have the forsight to invest in its Telecoms/IT infrastructure, whilst this county is starting to stagnate in its thousands of miles of 20 year old copper. I mean, BT had to be forced by the Government to impliment ADSL broadband, if they’d had their way, we still all probably be using dial-up.
I can seriously see our infrastructure colapsing under its own weight unless it is given a serious overhaul very soon.
