Just had e-mail notification of BT's new year price increase for
broadband/line rental and call packages.

£2 per month increase on broadband/line rental to £21.99/month. Stiil
not a bad deal tho'.

You must be kiddling.

There are limits to everything including soft crooing over a fscking
piece of shiite key hole internet link supplied by BT (British Telecum).

The world et al is moving to 1 gbit internet link.

800,000 people in UK get 1 gbit full fibre symmetric internet link with
equal upload and download speed for fast social media uploads and fast
gaming for under £50 a month including line rental.

While the rest of us can't get it.

If you care to divide your internet speed in proportion to what you
getting, something like 15mbit download link with 5mbit upload speed
against 1gbit download + 1gbit upload, you 20mbit:2gbit is your ratio,
and so your price should be a generous 50p per month.

That is how much it is worth to 800,000 people in UK with
gigabit internet. Certainly if I had a 1gbit business link,
I would not be prepared to dish out more than 50p per month
for incompetent service provision and if I had a big
enough wallet I would turn into a gurl called Sue and sue
the pants off everyone because I know I can make more
money off it than allow the status quo to continue.

Really - probably 99% could not even use it!

He's left them out because he couldn't answer the questions about them.
