Would BT be the UK's version of Comcast?
- Aeoxic 12y agoMore or less, except Britain is currently experiencing the aftershock of David "Think of the Children" Cameron and his band of privacy-hating merrymen. While Verizon was caught out recently tracking users and Comcast maybe does the same, at least they don't forcibly restrict you from using HTTPS.
- kalleboo 12y agoI'd say a better analogy would be AT&T since it's the former monopoly
- corford 12y agoYes although our government has forced them to open up the last mile to competition. So unlike with Comcast/AT&T, at least here you can switch to a more palatable ISP fairly easily & quickly. You're still somewhat at the mercy of BT's engineers though if you have a fault on your line.
