Expensive Broadband?
"Reliable broadband? Certainly, sir. That'll be £500,000" is a headline in the Sunday Times, which reports on several six-figure quotations by the company to upgrade services in rural areas.
"All David Roberts wanted was a service fast enough for making uninterrupted video calls to his family, and to watch All Creatures Great and Small without the picture constantly freezing," it says.
But Mr Roberts, who lives in a hamlet near Cockermouth in Cumbria, was told this would cost him almost £503,000.
BT is now under a "universal service obligation" to provide a basic service to all British homeowners - but the paper reports the telecoms giant has decided to average out that assistance "against local groups of properties to minimise costs".
