ME FUZZ

I am of the bummed out/frustrated lol.

Pretty much given up on trying to get BT to provide us with fibre here. Tried everything aside moving home, which is lolwat just for a feckin better internet connection. Just got off the phone with 2 blokes from BT, one was more helpful than the other, other was just :|

"i wish i could help ya mate " :@ Guy sounded half asleep and probably wanted to sod off home cuz 5pm on a friday etc.

Rural places suck for tech - tho an even more remote place to live than this one that's a short drive away has feckin brand new poles n everything lol bahhh.

Guess I wait til 2020 then. :@
(Then it gets pushed back to 2025, 2030, etc etc...)

I know how you feel ._. I used to live really really rural and out internet was like 2mbps/0.02mbps, moved a bit closer into the city and the internets are internet-y here.

You can always move in with me! I have like, a house, with a bed and stuff

We were given an estimate of 2013 for FTTH ("Fibre to the house&quot ;) here, it's 2016 and I'm still "stuck" on FTTC (Fibre to the cabinet, copper wires from 1827 from the cabinet to the house)

I gave up hoping after that. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Yeah same thing here lol, tho these guys today felt a bit like they didn't know wtf they were talking about/their own system.

Cuz informed them that some folks in the village are actually connected, and some BT dudes in a van not too long ago have been around and put these extra cables in coils on two poles coming down to us and neighbour's, evne has a little yellow plaque on one of them saying 'caution overhead fibre cables' or something like that. But when I mentioned that, they were like 'oh?' ;-;

CAN YA NOT CHECK YER SYSTEM OR SOMETHING TO VERIFY THESE THINGS ;-;

That 2nd guy tho was hnnng. Just everything was 'no, nope, not gonna happen' etc. Bleh.


*Begins unloading all me stuff on your porch* HAI I LIVE HERE NOW
