Some ISPs have their own equipment in the local exchanges (LLU)
In reality they lease equipment from BT and it's maintained by BT Openreach engineers
Yeah, but this is how it was with ADSL too.
Back when ADSL rolled out, and people only got 512kbps, there were no limits. You could literally download constantly at maximum speed for the entire month.
Then along came ADSL Max and people got bumped to 1 - 2mbps. Suddenly caps started getting introduced, so low that your speed had gone up but the amount you could download had literally declined by several orders of magnitude.
So whilst with the advent of basic FTTC unlimited has once again become the norm, don't count on currently unlimited bandwidth meaning perpetually unlimited bandwidth. It wouldn't be the first time in the UK that increases in speed have seemingly paradoxically meant decreases in the amount of data you're actually allowed to download. That's exactly what happened last time.
ummmmmm... nah , speeds went up to 1024 down
I have NEVER had anything other than unlimited with DSL.. EVER.. there have always been options for unmetered bandwidth.
so it's not what happened "last time" at all

Those are the 5 questions any article is supposed to answer. And it does not say why?
the why is SIMPLE... to make money initially by being a tax deductible and also as an investment.. if the investment fails.. there's a tax write off for you
Good luck with pushing 8 to the corporate world... it's about as adoptable as an angry badger with syphilis.

wtf are you on about..... every year i fly to Denver from Edinburgh Scotland.
I fly from Edinburgh to Amsterdam then onwards to Minneapolis then to Denver.
my baggage allowance without purchasing extras gets me 1 x 25 kilo suitcase, 1 x 12 kilo hand luggage plus one "accessory" which is my asus transformer tablet in it's own wee case. the meal and the snacks are included, the movies and TV are FREE and i get to chose my seat too from within the standard class seating.
KLM to Amsterdam then Delta the rest of the way.
dunno who you are flying with but they are sticking it right up your anus pal and you are taking it.
When in America i fly with spirit... some Americans may laugh at that as they are considered to be a crappy low cost airlines with little legroom.. to those people i say "have you ever flown with BMI,Easyjet or ryanair??" because then you'll KNOW what no fucking legroom is actually like..lol mind you last three times i flew with spirit i got upgraded seats for free so had plenty legroom. Spirit while being a basic flight isn't bad at all.

free CHILD CARE? does ANYWHERE have that?
Yes, it's quite common in Europe.. for example here in Scotland we have free childcare, free healthcare, free education, free prescription medicine.
But we also have private childcare,private healthcare, private education.. we have choice.

Remember the Mitsubishi Pajero debacle? Perhaps it really doesn't matter which word you choose as it is always another word for 'wanker' or 'prostitute', etc., in Spanish.
Yup just like the Sega consoles were marketed in Italy as Genesis as sega means wank in Italian
Some Comedians (The Chasers) in Australia booked and checked in online for a flight using the names Mr Terry Wrist and Mr Al Queda. When they didnt show for their flights, the calls across the terminal were pretty comical. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FkYPV7Iwu4

Quantity is no substitute for quality, but its the only one we've got.
