Nimby stop ultra fast BB

clicky

Snobby gits get there come uppance, after complaing about BT's big boxes.


	Quote: BT has been forced to put the brakes on an ongoing pilot of faster broadband technology in north London because of protests from local residents, who say its new roadside cabinets are too big and ugly.

So if your in a conservation area and you dont have Cable its a no go for the next level of BB Speeds for you. :lol:

But at least you will have nice looking houses.

Re: Nimby stop ultra fast BB

I was just about to post this story.

I can see where the residents are coming from. Why aren't BT removing the old boxes?

Surely once the switch over has been done, they're redundant?

As for the increased size, perhaps making them wider rather than taller would be preferred in some circumstances?

As its a trial the boxes are there only for the duration of the trial and a decision on whether they stay or not, I assume will be taken at the end of the trial and thus the old boxes stay otherwise youre just increasing the cost of the trial with an inherant risk of increasing the cost.

Re: Nimby stop ultra fast BB

Who wants 1.8 metre (6 feet) tall boxes on their street? That's ridiculously huge.
