Whats the difference between BT FTTP and virgin cable? (Not asking for well one has shit customer service...is there something technically different?).
FTTP is fibre all the way to your home (Fibre To The Premises) . Literally into your modem.
A part of Virgin is now fibre, but they have lots of old coax cable stuff out there.
The big improvement you get with full fibre is symmetrical connections - your upload speed can be as fast as your download. Which is nice for video conferencing and gaming.
Just take off your jackets, please. Everyone should take sensible precautions. A bunch of (mainly) overweight middle aged men in 40C heat should minimise their risks.

I'm wearing shorts today and I never wear shorts.
So you're naked?
Elon shorted the shorts. So they lost their shorts.
So only 34 minutes more of Magical Kemi Thinking to endure...
it is a decision like this that makes me think that Kemi is on to something re net zero: https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/admin/2022/1841 Basically the Court has ruled that the Business Secretary did not have sufficient information in terms of the quantification of our carbon output to certify that the net zero target would be met.
This is how politicians make rods for their own back and how gesture politics comes back and bites them on the bum. These areas are not, in my view, proper areas for legislation but for policy. But if you pass laws the court will give them substance.
A bit like when the threat of EU legal action forced the water companies to treat waste water rather than pump it straight into the sea? With the consequence that bathing beaches were dotted with becalmed floaters throughout the 70s and 80s?
Arguing for policy rather than legislation is an argument for inaction.

Virgin are replacing all coax with FTTP by 2028.
Right now new deployments do use FTTP but I think only as far as your door when it goes to coax into your home. This will presumably change in time.

FTTP is true gigabit.
Are they not both fibre to the property? Or is there something technically different between them.
The issue comes down to the size of the return path - Virgin offer 1gb download but only 52Mb upload. BT offers 910Mb download and 110Mb upload..
Quite a few vendors of FTTP are offering symmetrical connections.
Sky banging on about "climate emergency" all through this good weather it seems.
FFS I believe in tackling climate change, but if all you're going to say is "if we don't tackle climate change, then we're going to get more good weather like this" then its hardly a threat, is it? 🤦♂️
Also, such action wouldn't take effect for 40-50 years even if we did.
So we're going to get this (and more) for the rest of our lives regardless of what we do.
It's about making sure grandchildren/great grandchildren (and future generations) all have stability in 80-100 years once we're all gone now.
Badenoch unable to give a straight answer to the question of her position on net zero.
She's seen as fresh and exciting because she's a young black woman with a shot at being PM - and that is genuinely a bit of a thrill - but as to views and politics I don't see a great difference between her and your standard reactionary right wing tory.
God, that is such a predictable boilerplate Islington Leftie take.

I thought virgin was coaxal, not fibre?
From what I’ve read, virgins network is pretty much at its max speed unless they start replacing the cables, whereas the new FTTP installs can theoretically push towards 100gbps just by swapping out the back end equipment.
Which is currently a complete waste of time. In the vast majority of households the speed is limited by the WiFi in the house. I know people who have Gigabit into the house and they run entirely on WiFi which tops out at 200Mbps (if they're lucky). Even if you have wired your house with Gigabit ethernet (very rare) then you will have to upgrade every device in your house to 2.5G+ to experience any benefit whatsoever.
I know this is verging on the 640KB is enough for anyone (mis)quote but I am struggling to see much need for the average household to go above 1Gbps. Most don't need more than 200Mbps.
I am getting 506Mbps on my ancient Mac Book Pro 2015 - Wifi from a 1Gbps/1Gbps connection. What are they using for their Wifi - rust tin cans?
Run multiple video conferences/calls at the same time to see why 1Gbps is good idea.
But that's always been the case all YouGov's membership polling.
The unknown question is how representative is YouGov's panel to the overall Tory party membership...
I would also expect that people hold views on which potential leader is best much more fluidly than they do on which party is best. Minds are very changeable.

+1 - the issue isn't a few days of very warm weather - the issue is that we end up in the position (as places in central Europe have already hit) where it is this warm for a prolonged period of time. Remember today is warmer than yesterday because it started at a warmer starting point.

A number of vendors are doing fibre to modem, symmetrical connections. Future proofing.
Unfortunate for Kemi, but a great campaign, one hell of a marker for the next contest, and a very good shout for a Great Office in the new administration.
Yep - remember Truss has discovered the magic money tree and is planning to use it to solve all problems (where problems are things freebie loving pensioners want)
Labour have won in 2024. Tory MPs have eliminated the candidate with ideas. Now we’ve got a proven liar, a cosplaying Thatcher and Rich Rishi to choose from.
Given Sunak is polled to lose against them both, might we see something strange in the final round, where his backers vote for their least worst candidate aka the Jim Hacker?

I'm not sure Rishi & Penny have the votes between them to stitch Truss up.
Yes, despite everything it looks like the contest will come down to the Foreign Secretary vs the recently resigned Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the rule that a PM is always previously Leader of the Opposition, or a holder of one of the Great Offices of State will have held.
That does look more likely now, Truss did better this round than yesterday, if she picks up most Badenoch votes she is in the last 2 and if Yougov and Conhome member polls and surveys are correct she then beats Sunak.
That would be great news for Labour, not so great news for the Tories I fear

In the event, one was eliminated and the other withdrew!

Win/win. Very happy. 😁
Yes, I know it’s not as simple as that, but still.
So I'm happy.
