Quote from: mathewlisett and now that 4G is proven to do very well in speeds. wouldnt it be wise for plusnet to look ahead for this as an option for their customers.
Where is 4G live? Must have missed the auctions for the licences

O2 4G trials have been running in London and Newquay (search for UK 4G trial).
I suspect that 4G will, initially at least, be most available and fastest in major cities and other areas already well served with existing technology and many remote rural areas will continue to loose out due to simple economics.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

Quote from: itsme Where is the evidence that BT are stopping other using fibre.
its i believe one of the announcements on this forum
"many remote rural areas will continue to loose out due to simple economics"
funny how our government was stated as saying they would be putting millions into the broadband rural area issue, and then we had BT clearly stating the same thing and making it their mission. only to then have an announcement that BT wont infact be doing this

as far as i am aware, Bt currently "runs" and even "owns" as per contract an area of land , which means they can do deals or not to their competition.
which also means nobody else can come along and put down their copper or fiber optic, just like if water issue was the same, if wessex water did the same thign BT are doing, it would eman no other company unless reachign a deal with wessex water would be allowed to provide a ervice with their water.
if that makes sense.

As for your water analogy this may not be a good one as water is regulated by the state by giving companies exclusive rights to manage the supply.
