    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nice to see the tories working together... A senior Welsh Tory official has quit, calling for party chairman Byron Davies to resign, accusing him of "complete inaction" on "serious matters". Lee Canning, who was a deputy party chairman, also said ex-Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns should "maybe...

    I am more likely to believe almost anything and everything JC says over anything BJ has said, or will say. No, I do not find him particularly appealing and question much of what he says. Much of the best political words I have heard in recent times have come from sources which hitherto might...

    Will brexit stop freedom of movement of fish? Only those with British blue passports will be allowed into UK waters. Oh no - the other way around, we won't allow any of our British blue passport holding fish to go into EU waters and get caught there - but we'll allow EU passport holding fish to...

    I see that BJ's non-publication is likely to be challenged: The widow of a Russian dissident murdered in London plans to challenge a government decision not to publish a report on alleged Russian meddling in Britain, a lawyer representing the widow said...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Honestly, it's not better if it ended up with existing users no longer able to use 4G and new users being little better off. And not everywhere requires any digging at all. Like here. The ductwork had all been properly done by the developer - just BT had failed to connect it up with anything...

    I see that EE now offer unlimited 4G data at £34. Which would address the cap issues, but not the unreliability.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hold on there! When we moved here, knowing the broadband to be poor, we tried a 4G connection. It achieved something like 20 Mbps - not bad. Two problems - download cap and reliability. It was far, far too difficult to manage our bandwidth usage and so we often found ourselves hitting our...

    Maybe a basic allowance with charges for a higher cap (or no cap) and faster speeds? We need to remember that internet access is very close to compulsory for quite a number of government services - such as jobseeker's allowance. Yes, they do allow "free" access within job centres, but you have...

    Considering the huge excessive bandwidth usage due to google, facebook, etc., it surely only right they should be paying for it. A lot of the time, a page I might wish to view is positively dwarfed by the advertising/tracking/what-have-you load it carries. Perhaps Microsoft, Apple, etc...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Far from welcoming brexit as has been claimed by some, countries such as Australia, New Zealand, USA, appear to be queuing up to sue us (and the EU) for the negative impact on their exports.

    Living in a relative backwater, I have been quite pleased to get 3G/4G much more often than I had expected. But my expectations were very low. Partner had to change network to get coverage. And there are many places with absolutely no signal of any sort. We are way past the point at which at...
