  • @quentynblog @swardley …and get fat, then die of heart congestion shortly after being fired for diminution of social skills. #
  • @swardley A better question might be: with slower trains, how many people are going to say "Do I drive to London, or skip #Cloudcamp " #
  • @swardley incidentally, if you find sitting on slow trains to be healthy, stress-free and well connected to the net, enjoy. #
  • @swardley Else start a campaign for powersockets, better legroom for tall people, and satellite broadband on all trains. #
  • @swardley Lacking all of those, minimisation of the journey by faster trains (TGV anyone?) is bliss. #
  • @swardley So address the target market, and get all the financial services companies to abandon their City HQs. #
  • @swardley There already is a virtual #Cloudcamp It's the #Cloudcomputing hashtag. It's strangely unsatisfying… #
  • @swardley That argument wags the dog: we already have the bandwidth to work at home in the City catchment area. Fix the companies instead. #
  • @swardley What *are* you doing that requires 2x DSL or better? It's great if you have it, but damn I have a "piddly" 7Mbit. #
  • @swardley And "all" does mean for instance the furthest reaches of Cape Wrath and the Isle of Skye? #
  • @swardley HS2 goes all the way to Leeds, so the catchment for a Broadband-TCO comparison would be a lot bigger than Home Counties. #
  • @quentynblog As someone who still keeps a USR Courier around "just in case", that you get 5Mbit is amazing.

  • @quentynblog @swardley That's OK – Simon is already happy with his slow trains. 🙂 ps: Ever taken an express train? #
  • @quentynblog Talk to guys at U Soton who say that it's conspiracy to stop them putting ~gigabit down copper, but with different backend h/w #
  • @quentynblog ps: not aware of water service being a "right"; citation please? #
  • @quentynblog Cool. Maybe that makes it a right. Am just thinking of a few places I've been where water comes out of an aquifer or stream. #
  • @hvcco @quentynblog Maybe we should have a #ModemParty and see if they still connect? Also have Hayes, Supra, … #
  • @mattauckland Me and about 60 other people… #
