From what I do remmber of this stuff, its the lorrys and other road uses that couse the problems with it.
And you need to remmber it was 1982, the guys I was working with did think it was sh1t.
There was a lot of problems with it.
I can’t see why Virgin are making so much fuss about using it, its been in use for the last 25 years and on most home phone lines, its only the bit from your house to the exchange box that is copper.
I do think that most people will have 64mb broadband in 5 years, wither they use copper or fiber optics.
And if the copper system was so cra p why have Vingin been using “legal means “to try and access BT net work?
