Topic: BT plans first all-fibre network in Oxfordshire village

[Simon]

BT hopes to learn about future challenges of running an all fibre network after announcing an ultrafast broadband trial in the the sleepy Oxfordshire town of Deddington.

According to BT, it's the first time the company has rolled-out a fibre-only network and the trial should provide the UK's fastest broadband, with fibre to the home (FTTH) connections of up to 300Mbits/sec.

The company said the pilot, which will initially be run alongside the copper infrastructure, would help them study how fibre networks worked, with the technology seen as a longterm replacement for copper.

With an exchange serving 1,400 homes and businesses, BT said the area was the right size to assess a network in a living environment.

Now, how do we shift Clive?

[Simon]

Put him on a boat.

Ship, me hearty, ship.

[Simon]

I was just waiting for him to be captured by pirates, and for them to offer a ransom to give him back! 

[Rik]

How much could we make, do you think?

[Simon]

The longer we make them keep him, the more desperate they'll get.

I think they'd be concerned that they'll pay up then we refuse to take him back 

(sorry Clive, we're only jealous!)
