Our lass has one, but she only uses it for

No it doesnt. Plenty of mobile plans that cost less
per month for unlimited texts and calls than a landline.

In fact some I know have just a mobile because it costs significantly
less per month than a landline and can be used anywhere.

My landline is bundled with the WiFi and costs £40 pm and my wife and

daughters
can all use it which saves them on mobile charges. When we get Lightstream it
will fly like a jet as it will be the fastest in the UK.

Well we already have 200 meg here and that in reality is fast enough.
They are talking about 300 meg or more, And its only limited on the up
stream the down isn't, all via co-ax and fibre and VM..

Amazing how Kingston telecom can get fibre rolled out like that and Bt
can't..


Why?..


They only have a small catchment area, not the entire UK.


Kcom size compared to BT?..


Plus, they don't
really have any serious competition.


And what competition do BT have for fibre roll out than say VM?...

Trivia note: In the dotcom boom, the council-held KC shares went from 70p to £17
which made KHCC the richest council in the UK worth £billions.
