My wife has lost my spare car key. It's the newer type that has a fob and has a code. It's going to cost a bomb to replace. We've searched everywhere we can think of. I foolishly put the fob to our brand new car through a wash cycle in my trouser pocket, it then didn't work. Back to dealer to order a new one, £180 wow, but a kindly service manager disappeared with it and returned with another one. Because the car was still virtually new he somehow returned it to Mazda as "faulty". I would have still had the door key so could have got in but it's so much easier with a fob I see the latest ones gain access by your fingerprint

Slow internet It's the same every year as holidaymakers pack this place out and switch on their devices - the internet cannot cope with the volume And this with us who have the so called high speed fibre, it is connected to our place but of course finds it's way back to the old copper exchanges. Use less complaining to BT who just make reassuring noises at their end, and claim to do tests that we are getting the correct downloads. This after paying for it for 18 months and trying to renew to be told that we didn't and couldn't have it which Think I may break the habit of a lifetime and look to another provider when contract is due for renewal

We live in a VERY rural part of France and it's much faster than London.

They still own all the infrastructure, they were crap when a state industry and have not improved since privatisation other than you now have a supposed choice Their CEO, just replaced looked like a schoolboy

It's nowt to do with BT being bad; in the 80s BT wanted to replace all the old cables with fibre optic cables, but the (Conservative) Govt at the time wouldn't allow it; they had just, or were about to, allow other companies to provide phone services, and BT's plans would have been anticompetitive. We could have had a super fast broadband infrastructure 30 years ago; but don't blame BT, blame Thatcher.
In the 70s we lived up a drive 200 yards back from the main road;* when my did got a phone put in (a couple of years after I'd left) it cost no more for him than it did for anyone else. Now it would cost a hell of a lot.
*It was the driveway of a school, that my dad was the groundsman of; our house was small and cold.

But BT still own all the infrastructure today, all service providers go though their cable, so it wouldn't have mad any difference had they replaced with fibre optic in the 80s. They are doing just that today I bet their reluctance to spend money was either to protect profits or the prepare for privatisation

It was the start of the cable thing, when all the different cable companies were digging up pavements and putting cable in (I shouldn't have said phone services, as it was more than that).
It could have been to save money to prepare for privatisation as well; either way it was all down to Thatcher.
