Damn I knew there was a hubsite near me, nut never knew there was so many smaller sites dotted around too.

You mean like a chainlink fence that a van can drive through and a padlocked rack that can be broken into? ;)

Re: Your broadband might be coming from an old public toilet..

With everyone in the UK desperate to get a fast broadband internet connection, Virgin Media have gone to extraordinary lengths to install their switching gear in more and more bizarre locations

That is a quote from the article, I would say they are slightly wrong in saying VM have gone to extraordinary lengths to to install equipment in bizarre places in the name of people wanting a faster connection. Pretty much all these sites have been in use for close to 30 years! But yea there are some weird hub sites out there!

Absolutely. In my work I've found myself outside O2 & Orange (as they were then) switch sites in the past and just not realised it. Calling someone inside with a "where are you?" and "literally behind you"....
