I WAS very excited when I saw BT?s ?Broadband Has Landed? adverts for its new high-speed internet connection service on the TV recently.
But my excitement turned to disappointment after I logged on to BT?s website only to be informed that I cannot receive the service, despite the company boasting that more than 70% of the country is covered.
I understand that my own village of Sampford Courtenay may not be a high priority for BT ? we have yet to get gas and cable is but a distant dream! ? but when I discovered that Okehampton is also ?not viable? I was pretty unimpressed.
Apparently, BT require interest from 300 customers before it will consider updating its exchanges in our area.
