Not true we have Broardband and Telephone but no TV. We only have the
2Mb service. We had the 4Mb at one point but downgraded when we moved
house to save money (Anyway we don't need it 2Mb is still faster than
we ever actually use or need)....
If my memory servers me correctly Thanet does not have cable or did
not have when I was at Uni because a certain Maxwell owns the licence
and as we all know he jumped off a boat with it.
Telewest also do a 10Mb service which is faster than anything I've
seen anywhere.
