Wonder why the pavement was dug up and why I've had a BT fibre optic post outside my house for over a couple of years.

I agree it was and is a big mistake

But where is the money coming from for the fibre upgrade, BT or the government?

To be honest I don't care who pays for it. My broadband is slower than dial up and 3G, according to BT website the exchange at Great Harwood which is my nearest exchange living in Rishton are not getting it anytime soon.

I wouldn't mind if the street I live in was cabled, but it isn't, but it doesn't stop me getting bombarded with Virgin Media leaflets every week.

BT have been laying plenty of fibre optic cables. They're spending £2.5 billion on it.

Mind you the once liberals talk rubbish and are so weak they'd fall down without a tory backbone..

I'm not a fan of rinsing the rich for tax and this makes Clegg and the liberals look like the idiots they are.
