Labour pledges universal broadband and nationwide fibre, will renationalise the farcical, terrible BT Openreach

I really hope they’ve briefed their volunteers in places like the West Country and Scotland to hammer on this point, because I think there are a lot of even Tory voters who’d vote Labour on the strength of this alone.

Add Cumbria to that list. Carlisle has had at least two abortive attempts to get cable internet, some streets only have high speed internet on on side of the road. My parents are twenty metres away from getting it in their house but no private company is interested in expanding.
