But FTTH as opposed to FTTC (Fibre to the cab) a lot more expensive and the "subs" are not keen on paying for FTTH.
Whos going to pay for this extra infrastructure.
- te_chris 9y agoThat was in my first post: The govt. should pay, or at least subsidise, as it's a national infrastructure investment. The UK is one of the world's leading tech nations, mostly due to London and the research universities, but the broadband is rubbish. If the govt. is prepared to write what looks like a blank cheque for HS2, why not throw a few billion pounds at FTTH?
- martinald 9y agoWhy? It's likely to be tens of billions of £ to move from FTTC to FTTH, which very few people would even notice.
- walshemj 9y agoThere are better uses of tax money than upgrading grans line to FTTH when all she uses it for is to call her daughter and family on the phone. and why does consumer bb speeds effect th UK's status as a leading tech nation - not treating engineers and scientists as second class citizens would do far more.
