In all these years, I can count how many times there was an outtage. Last one as in March, for no more than 40 minutes.
On the other hand I want nothing to with BT and their outdated copper analog lines we have in the part of Crawley where I live - more often than not we had 1 or 2 days without connection. I overheard one of the BT engineers who come to try and sort out the problem that it was a faulty analog line and BT was playing dead. All of my neighbours have Virgin and no one wants BT - even for free.
