Oh hammy you just don't get it do you, when you visit here and post please bring along some inphormation about phorm so we can have a really good debate. Don't come here to bait members or try to mock them.

As for BT's network well too many Cheifs not enough workers and the Cheifs get payrises in the thousends of pounds a year one actuall had a pay rise of over £150,000 just think what that could have done for the exchanges..

Remember it is only BT, VM and Talktalk who are talking about this at present. In talktalk case they do provide free internet with phone so can see the need for some help.
VM after years of bad managment and high bonuses making the majority of the workforce redundant. Yet they still fail to understand economics and how to make the network run smoothly and in profit. Had they laid of the over abundance of managers who failed to deliver keeping UK based customer facing staff you never know where thye would have been now.

Agreed seems two of the three are trying to improve at customers expence because they took too high a pay rise for themselves.

It's not rocket science.

Here you need to look at what is paid in divi and think about it the money from shareholders was supposed to be used to improve the company. If this hasn't happened then it is miss managment, bad business plans the problem is for years BT have used shareholders as an open cheque book but the money they gathered wan't used wisely.

I have shares in BT and LloydsTSB which do you think has given the most out in Divi over the same number of years and which is the smallest amount of shares?
WE have motre BT shares than TSB yet earned more from TSB than BT
