A glimmer of hope maybe for us in the snail lane...

What a strange thing to say publicly. Trying to pressure the council into spending more money perhaps?

[john22rob]

This means not in their plans! They have simply removed not in their plans and replaced it with this

[Ray_Von]

I'm guessing they will do it...but with someone else's money.

[john22rob]

if you look at the BT checker website there is no such reason as 'not in their current roll out plans' anymore, they have replaced it with exploring solutions

[Ray_Von]

They can explore my manky 2mb line anytime..

So basically its a cop-out to try and stop people complaining that their exchange is "not in the plans"?

Sounds like they have taken a leaf out of Origins book of customer service, fob the customer off promising it will all be fine.

[john22rob]

Yep, that's how I see it

My initial reaction was that "any news is good news". My revised reaction is that it isn't news gah. The wait goes on.

What a shame
