AlanHo Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Details hereI am no techie and don't understand the implications of this technology - but the concept of accessing the internet via the sewers is an intriguing one. Does this mean that I will have to move my computer into the bathroom. It would hopefully offer the perfect excuse for leaving the seat up.

CurlyWhirly Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I wouldn't mind having access to a fibre optic network and I don't care if my connection comes from the sewers as long as I don't smell it I live a long way from the exchange and so am limited to around 3 Mb and so it would be very welcome in my area but I'm not holding my breath after reading the following text from the article:While BT has pledged to provide all new housing estates in the UK with fibre connections it has not yet made clear its plans for existing homes.

catgate Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I think it is a splendid scheme.It means that if a cable breaks, even if the engineers can not mend it, they can always go through the motions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 There is no logical reason for this not to be a damned good idea. The sewers are already there, and an optic fibre cable is hardly likely to cause a blockage. The actual cable laying would be a doddle compared with digging up the roads. Our road was a mess for weeks on end when the NTL cable was laid. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I reckon it will involve a lot of paperwork before the job is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
