According to former PM I think you would be considered an extremist

It gets worse, of course. The latest in alt-right discourse is to portray married men with family responsibilities as being emasculated and unmanly.
Does this mean that we get a letter on the LGBT+ alphabet? We could be F, for fathers. I’m all for that if we get separated from those impotent, twisted turd-brains.

It’s the “real” wealth that needs to be hit, as in massive multi billion corporations.
The current tax system for regular people is fucked up, sometimes actually acting as a deterent from considering a better higher paid position due to the amount of additional tax and loss of allowances that come with it

There not very good at these. The previous one was National Conservatives which was rapidly abbreviated to Nat-Cs.

Any TAN members live in any of the affected areas? We might have someone capable of matching @GermanRed for match updates soon.

I have access to that now, just no need for it. back in the day when I ran an FTP, maybe…

That’s not that fast, I get 1.5 Gigs now, and could go to 3 Gbps. I am surprised that 1 Gbps is being trotted out as newsworthy.
keep there expectations low
That’s some hardcore porn streaming, bro. Mrs and I both work from home and do fine on 300…
They really do take their time. Government economists were telling them that they needed to do this 20 years ago. Then it was postponed because of the financial crash and then they wanted to “let the market decide”. Aside from Corbyn’s manifesto in 2019 I don’t think it has really been mentioned much.

We don’t pay for it - but when both kids were doing virtual school and when both of us were doing virtual meetings, it came in handy.
Biggest bottleneck we have is speed from the modem/router to the desktop. I only get about 500 Mbps average.
Crazy thing is we are supposed to be getting 8 Gbps service at the lake in 2025! We still had a party line 15 years ago.
Infrastructure often lags using just market signals. I am not a big fan of our government’s internet and communications policy in general, but one thing that successive governments have done effectively is compel competitive extension of the infrastructure. I had not really thought through what most British homes must have faced with remote work/school.

unless you’re hosting servers with tons of traffic, gigabit internet is excessive. the broadband companies market it otherwise, but any IT expert will tell you that there’s no need for that
a residence should not require more than 300. a 4K stream only requires 25mbps.
had a $125m/yr company running off redundant 150 lines, and it was entirely electronic systems with live GPS tracking of 500 units.

To be honest, they haven’t. They have constantly prodded at continual market failure. What has started to drive the demand is the growth in streaming services, particularly because players like Virgin and BT run that themselves. The actual infrastructure is an afterthought.
Was comparing Canadian government to UK
Wife’s employer insists, and pays for it, so I am not fussed.
The planned 8 Gbps service at the lake might have some correlation to the proximity to the CEO of Bell’s summer place.
I think part of the idea is that they can run peer-to-peer and hotspots.
