BT in "taking the piss out of rural customers" shocker, unless you live in rural areas in which case "no shit Sherlock, it's BT" ... please can we have Amazon Kuiper or Starlink? ->
BT broadband bills could reach £100,000 for rural users - theguardian.com/money/2020/sep…

"a third of UK households are struggling with inadequate broadband speeds and, as banking and government services increasingly move online, some communities have been cut off from essential facilities" ... sounds about right. This is why we need AWS Kuiper or Starlink.

X : When do you think that will happen?
Me : I suspect UK Gov plan is to try and stop Kuiper or Starlink because we've invested £500M in a failed satellite company called OneWeb which will become some ropey service that will force people to keep buying from BT.

X : You don't like BT?
Me : I will celebrate the day that BT goes out of business or more hopefully is renationalised on the cheap. If I was in Gov then I would have long ago found a way to bring criminal charges against the company for harming the national interest.

X : What about Ofcom?
Me : Don't get me started. Toothless chicken i.e. "record" OfCom fine being 1% BT's profit - bbc.com/news/av/busine…
