No offence intended, but I cant see this being taken seriously due to the awful spelling and grammer, plus given that BT are doing the 21C anyway as fast as they can so what good do you think this will do?

Good luck though.

I note your ability to correct others, coupled with your inability to spell the word "grammar" correctly!

Yes and its using the cheapest kit they could buy from the Chinese (Huawei).

Perhaps it is possible that the kit is produced more cost-effectively in China. It doesn't really matter if it's the cheapest kit, so long as it does the job properly.

I note your ability to read post 5.

Yes I did read your post #5. I note that the words "referring", "incentive" and "rolling" are spelled incorrectly.

So you will notice I said I dont care about spelling myself, just on a petition its important to have it correct. I didnt think it was that hard a post to get your head around.

Oh, the bit in italics was taken directly from the petition.

Well you're referring to the past tense so I assume you are!

One of the times I agree with the American way of doing things, as does everyone I know. "Spelled." Also largely spelled this way in Doric circles.

PS : BT Needs some competition. Having recently returned from countries where two or three major telecoms companies compete for business, I can say that quality of service/product and prices are WAY better pretty much everywhere.

I agree, however half the problem is no other companies are willing to invest in a network (bar Virgin Media). Once these other companies do this then I think we'll see situations like other countries.
