BT originally wasn’t even privatised, should be nationalised again. Bring back the GPO.
Comment on BT strikes deal to rescue troubled TalkTalk from administration
wiccan2@thelemmy.club 1 day ago
TalkTalk spent the better part of the 2000s buying up and absorbing almost all of the smaller ISPs, they ruined any sense of competition and now BT is talking full advantage to cement their monopoly.
There’s basically only BT and VirginMedia left with most alternatives being owned by one of the two.
Give it a year and most of those “saved” jobs will be gone after BT fully swaps over all of the TalkTalk customers to their existing systems.
BT are not the good guys here.

There are loads of small ISPs operating. Mainstream, there’s little choice, but those living in CityFibre areas have choice.

So not really useful for anyone outside of those areas, is it?
