Fading dreams

Recently I got a letter from BT saying that BT Infinity was finally in my area. I checked online and it still wasn’t available. Then I checked Virgin – same outcome. I even learnt that my existing provider PlusNet was now providing fibre but even that isn’t available in my area. I checked the post code of my parents’ house and found to my dismay that 25Mb broadband was available to them. By natural deduction that must mean they don’t live in Docklands but in fact in Walsall. I love Docklands but such poor internet provisioning by all providers to this area right next to Canary Wharf is nothing short of shocking. I shall have to be content with speeds of 1-2Mb for now. Maybe in 10 years we’ll have made some progress.
