Submission + - BT Shows First Fibre Optic Broadband Rollout Plans (ispreview.co.uk)

MJackson writes: "BT has revealed new details about the roll-out of its £1.5bn programme to deploy super fast fibre optic broadband to as many as 10 million UK homes (40%) by 2012. Scotland will become one of the first places to benefit from next generation broadband services, with more than 34,000 homes and businesses in Edinburgh and Glasgow receiving speeds of up to 40Mbps and potentially 60Mbps from early next year (2010). Overall BT Openreach, which is responsible for ensuring that all rival operators have equality of access to BT's local network, aims to deploy Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) based next generation broadband services next summer (2010) to 500,000 homes and businesses in the UK."

Comment i can't believe you leave your wireless open... (Score 1) 849

to those of you who broadcast their wifi with no authentication and with ssids like "Nojoke : free internet!" I question your sanity. This leaves your entire network open for all sorts of security attacks. It requires almost no knowledge to perform an arp poisoning and sniff for passwords using a man in the middle attack. The only way i would get on a free network was if I knew the owner. You might as well broadcast your social security number. Who knows what that "free" access point is actually doing (I already mentioned a man in the middle attack) Stealing wifi is a dumb idea for that reason alone.
