Re: What's going on here?

According to my mother, who's out at the moment, she left a message to say
there's 2000 people waiting for that bus, or even several buses at the
moment! Dunno how she found that out, but she's well peeved! Daresay, I'll
get the info later. However, if that's the case, then trigger levels were
lower than that, if my memory serves me right, several years ago for local
exchanges to be enabled for adsl anyway. So, why is Torquay dragging its
feet to allow extra capacity? She intends to lobby BT, to get this sorted!!
And if they knew my mother.....there'd be icelandic 25mbs download speeds by
dawn tomorrow!!
