The Horror Of British Telecom

MBCook writes "'Someone, raised amidst the elegant lattice of custom and tradition that serves as the foundation of English society, came up with a very elegant, very British, solution to broadband policy here. And it absolutely, positively sucks.' So starts an article by Mark Hachman over at ExtremeTech chronicling his odyssey to get broadband in his new flat."

    Actualy calling alot of Us Scotts brittish is pretty offensive for some of us , we are rather proud of being scottish

    You might want to learn how to spelt "scots" and "brittish" before you pretend to be something you're not. And if you really are an example of scottish education it explains a lot.

    The article was written by an American. The whole world knows what the geography of the average American is like. If they're not bombing it, they probably have no idea where it is. Apparently most of them don't even have a passport. How arrogant is it to think that it's not worth leaving your own country?

    True -- he's liable to puke all over your shoes.

    Obviously this post is reducing that pride somewhat -- not that blind racism is exactly alien to the Scottish landscape.

    I should learn tolerance? Says the man who says being called british is offensive? Sorry , I just get sick you lot north of the border whinging. I bet you're not offended to be british when the government hands you those fat subsidies paid for by the english & welsh taxpayers.
