From what I can see, Tele2 is just as bad as NTL if not worse, they still offer Analogue TV,something that NTL/VM disguise on their website and marketing.
As for the digital Cable service, a definate no no, we have a much better channel line up than that!
Also, I've heard a few comments on how advanced Sweden's internet system is, well the UK is much more highly populated than Sweden, the UK has a population of between 60 Million and 62 Million whilst Sweden has between 9 and 12 Millon people. This means theres less upgrade works and costs in comparison to the UK, same with France too. Also if France is so good with its telecom networks, why is Orange so crap and expensive over in the UK????
And even the swedish companies such as Tele2 have commented on how open and the UK's telecom industry is in regards to predominant firms allowing open access. Something that the rest of Europe doesn't have, well not much of it at that. |
I've never understood why orange is so bad over here but in france it's a very highly rated ISP providing FTTH 100Mbit symetrical.
Hell, even orange ADSL+2 over there is miles better than what we get here and without shaping.
It's just a thing of this country where companies like to rip you off.
Swedens infrastructure was highly invested and done properly...which is why they can offer better speeds with no shaping.
IF the VM network was done properly we would be in roughly the same situation.
Who knows...one day the UK might be like japan with 1Gbit connections directly to your house/apartment.
Maybe in about 50 years
FYI France Off 100/10 for 44Euro/month
100/100 for 70/Month
Free offer 50/5 for i think 25Euro/month on its own.
Cire Fibre offer 100/100 as well but i dont know the price on that?
