BT has been downsizing for years, it is a shell of its former self already.
What strikes me as odd is they're viewing 'modernisation' efforts as one-time activities. Come 2030 are they saying they won't need to invest in their network as much or upgrade things? I think that's what they are saying, and I don't think they're going to be right.

- flumpcakes 3y agoThat might be true if it was proper FTTP, as optical glass can last centuries, and is the perfect practical medium for information transfer. You could probably do it once and never have to replace it ever again. But BT cheaped out and put down GPON. Maybe in 50 years time the average household will need more than 100Mb/s upload.
