Fast Broadband? MY ARSE
Virgin Media organised 13 skimpily dressed female models, including Danielle Lloyd, to bare their behinds to display a message which read “BT? Fast Broadband? My Arse!”
Now this actually is relevant to me and many pissed off consumers in the UK, I’m fortunate enough, where I live in the countryside, to be within a mile of the exchange, but that means the super fast speeds by inbred townie chums get courtesy of fibre optic cables is still a fraction of the cost and there are no plans to upgrade the crappy copper wiring where I am for quite a while – sadly! OK, my rant over…
The executive director of Virgin Media said:
This cheeky stunt was simply a humorous way to get across a serious message – that customers should demand what they are being promised from their internet providers!
Hear Hear! so BT, when the F*CK are you gonna give me fibre optic cabling, I pay enough for my 4 meg braidband as it is, my 70 year old mother has a better connection than me FFS!

The problem is that it’s not commercially viable to build Fibre to the Home (FTTH) throughout rural areas. Witness the Australian Government’s promise to build FTTH in capital cities, at a total cost of at least £25 billion (that’s with a “B”).
What makes more sense in less populated areas is Fibre to the Node (FTTN), where there are ADSL2+ hubs on each street corner. This provides the maximum possible speed over copper to most customers, rather than the current lottery based on distance to the local exchange.
what lovely cuties showing their botties very nice
