Are you saying that we have to wait for the 2.19% of the U.K. population who have Broadband speeds of less than 30Mb/s before the transitional period is ended?
Not my decision, old chap. We should perhaps wait for habits to change and possibly for more people to purchase smart TVs, although of course we all know on here there are workarounds using an HDMI socket.

Good to know that the predictions from some quarters on here about the broadband rollout not being implemented by 2025 have proved to be somewhat removed from the reality we are now experiencing.

Try explaining that to those who are not as tech savvy as you, jfman. Why don’t you try it out on your granny?
