Somebody's modding up all my posts.. Thanks to that person :)
British Telecom suck. I live in a county that is surrounded by coastline save one side of it. The town I'm in, Launceston, is the gateway into the county - it's right on the only major road, and right on the border between here and Devon... Yet British Telecom still haven't given us ADSL. In fact, there's only one place in this entire county that has been ADSL enabled...
Now, I'm not a BT engineer, but as far as I knew, all they have to do is swap a card over at the local exchange and do a bit of programming. Phone lines don't need changing or anything.
Damn BT and their monopoly.
