Re: Clueless

You must work in BT/EE Sales/marketing and clueless at that.

No, I'm a Chartered Engineer with a background in telecomms. Are you?

Blanket FTTP rollout is the ONLY way you'll ever get 50Mbps "5G speeds" on your mobile

5G again!` Even 4G/LTE is specced for 300Mbit/s.

the mobile mast itself needs FTTP backhaul to deliver you the 50Mbps.

Of course, and you can put those masts in places where it's easy to get the fibre. That's a completely different situation to trying to get fibre to arbitrarily-placed houses that aren't near convenient ducts/wayleaves/roads etc.

If we followed your arguments we'd be building 3 new runways at Heathrow, running HS2 to Aberdeen, and making the M25 24 lanes in each direction. Sure, it would look great on paper, but why should my tax money be squandered on it?
