Would have thought they would have enough clout to get info from BT and pass on updates.

 

Openreach, not BT (who are a rival ISP). No ISP is permitted more 'clout' than any other, in order to maintain a competitive market.

 

Here's the thing: we had v high gusts of winds for approx 2 hours on a single day. Are there not questions regarding the resilience of kit and susceptabilty to unusual weather events that should have been addressed? 

 

While replacing every telephone pole and overhead line with optical cable in ducting would probably have been a better national investment than HS2, unfortunately government didn't see it that way.
