what a laugh
I don't see UKOnline engineers working to install 'new' anything they are just utilising the existing 'last mile' that was put in place by the taxpayer, not obtaining wayleave and then going around digging up the roads and laying ducting, installing cabs, running fibre (and all that it entails) and then handing over to the tech heads for testing and then running coax to the subs from the distribution nodes.
Last time I saw BT do anything to the infrastructure in this area it was to replace 'wooden' telegraph poles that appeared perfectly sound but were probably subject to some arcane BT health and safety legislation as being unable to support the weight of their trained chimps (who happen to use 'cherry pickers' when doing any overhead cabling). Total waste of £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£.
