“Don't knock it just send it to the rural areas, we are still on Kbps. It seems BT are putting fibre in the same areas Virgin have it just to try to compete, nothing being done to improve the areas that need it, please Virgin come to the rural areas, don't need the 100Mbps just something that works without long delays trying to load a page.”

“Not a single mention of potential speeds. Are we to assume this "High-Speed" network is using the government definition of "High-Speed"? That being 2Mbps.”
