Letter: BT offer insults our intelligence
In reality this is standard fibre optic broadband, it just appears super-fast compared to our current copper wire system which should have been upgraded to fibre optic a decade ago. It is not just BT's infrastructure which is outdated – their method of choosing where to install fibre optic connections is an archaic insult to our intelligence. We must vote for it in something akin to a TV talent competition. Will Bruce Forsyth be drafted in to announce the five winning exchanges?
A modern telecommunications infrastructure is too important to leave to the whims of commercial bodies who don't know if they are running a business or a games show.
Our politicians must take the lead and set deadlines for upgrading the whole UK telephone network to a fibre optic system.
