Britsh Telecommunications have lost the plot

BT have lost the plot.  I used to have an 8Mb service and telephone.  Even during the day I struggled to watch a low quality YouTube clip.  In the evenings I could not watch a YouTube clip at all.  This is as a direct result of the traffic management software that BT use and BT were unwilling or unable to fix it.

I am now with Virgin Media.  I get a 50Mb broadband service with free National telephone calls for about 20% less than I was paying BT.  No contest!

Now I watch live streamed HD content through the BBC iPlayer on my 24" screen.  Brilliant!

Snow snow snow .......

After the snow in the UK in 2010 combined with 0.5% loss in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the largest deficit of £9.2 bn in December 2010, it occurs to me that our leadership needs to remember what they learnt as children.

As the nursery rhyme says....

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Children know what is going on.....for fuck's sake buy some fucking snow ploughs!
