[Nottingham] FTTP Nottingham (Was: Re: RFC 1149 - Standard for the transmission of IP datagrams on avian carriers)

[Martin]

Mmmm, thanks for that.

Very curious as to "Why now?" and at what cost for what speeds?

All due to CityFibre moving in on the area with Gigabit speeds??...


Shame we're still stuck with grotty old telephone poles for the BT stuff...


Interesting thanks,

Keep us posted (bad pole pun!)?

Cheers,
Martin
