Topic: BT boss has only broadband home

[Simon]

British Telecom (BT) has admitted its chairman is the only person in a village on the Oxfordshire-Buckinghamshire border with broadband.

Other people in Hambleden were told they could not have broadband because of the distance to the exchange.

My brother-in-law lives in Noke, Oxford and cannot get broadband.

[Simon]

That's because he's not the BT chairman.

Hard to believe that a major town such as Oxford has such limited connectivity, though.  Unless the villages are far out and remote. 

[Clive]

He's always moaning about it.  I suppose Noke is pretty remote but its not the Highlands of Scotland!

[Simon]

At least he won't have to pay the Broadband Tax.

stupid isn't it - I wonder how these people cope on the bbc website without broadband... nothing must work.

[Simon]

True.

At least he won't have to pay the Broadband Tax. 

He will if he has a phone.
