  1. @jonnyedo BTW how's your young 'un getting on with Twitter?
  2. @jonnyedo Aye, if you don't mind mate. Just pop in. They won't mind. :)
  3. @Jimmi_B @GrahamJones_MP You are right, sadly. Poor broadband is not just a rural issue.
  4. @MattMJH Nice try pal. I like the change in tactics. Thinking on your feet. Better luck next time :-P
  5. @MattMJH Swimming on by...... :)
  6. @DavidTSanchez ROFL. Thanks, very funny.
  7. @DavidTSanchez @ToowayUK Yes. Family member who has sat wondered why he was being slaughtered on CoD. I explained why. No contest as u say.
  8. @DavidTSanchez @ToowayUK Of course I agree. Sat better than none. Physics dictates latency will always be there.
  9. @ToowayUK Re Duddon Valley issue. Sat speed may be better but how can you deal with latency issues? bit.ly/LBR2hT
  10. Rural broadband: satellite could rescue Cumbria’s abandoned surfers bit.ly/LBR2hT < Satellite latency still an issue.
  11. .@GrahamJones_MP You comments on Rural Broadband are completely misplaced. Rural are entitled to good broadband the same as anyone.
  12. Rural broadband plans only benefit the rich bit.ly/LBPJzv < @GrahamJones_MP missing the point completely. #DigitalBritain
  13. There has been a steady flow of people sponsoring a metre of #B4RN duct today. See how you can support it here b4rn.org.uk/sponsor-a-metre
  14. I like this little demo tool. Shows how fast the various forms of connections are. bit.ly/uIWGK4 #FTTH #B4RN
  15. @BroughtonLass What time you on, I'll tune in
  16. @Watchingtheflow I agree. Let's leave it then for more constructive things.
  17. @Watchingtheflow I wasn't. I welcome it. Just wanted you to confirm your statement from yesterday that said the plan will "cover that area"
