DIY high speed internet [Purp]
Tired of waiting, and not wanting to whine, and not looking for a government handout, a rural Brit area does what was necessary to to get high speed internet.
They did it themselves and started stringing fiber, a lot of fiber. Volunteers. Digging trenches. Burying cable. Making splices. They're selling "shares" in the enterprise too.
OMG, free markets, supply and demand, no government interference, a community banding together to do something real besides bitch and whine. Maybe Britain isn't all washed up after all...at least the rural parts that is.
TCB the old fashioned way
