Alex,

You may well be correct in your views on BT. However it is a fact that
the high speed cables that connect the UK to North America lie in
the ground less that 3 miles from here. They leave UK at Widemouth
Bay outside Bude and work has actually been ongoing over the last
few weeks. We may be surprised if we keep our fingers crossed ;-)
