No, you mean: the joy of a rapacious monopoly with a spineless regulator.
BellSouth and the FCC and Kentucky Public Service Commission? Oh, you're still talking about BT...sorry.
BT has successfully stalled opening itself up to competition as required by EU and UK law, by sitting on the local loop.
Like BellSouth.
Meanwhile, they themselves are deliberately slow on rolling out modern broadband services (e.g., xDSL) compared to the EU average.
Like BellSouth.
In short, the UK is *the* backwater of Europe when it comes to high-speed Internet connectivity -- it is rare to find at all, and when you find it, it's not cheap.
Like Kentucky.
You have evil incumbents in the USA too. Beware.
Ah...here we're back to talking about BellSouth again. I knew I was right in the first place! :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
