Now if BT could concentrate on making their core services work reliably and cheaply instead of this, perhaps they'd be a half decent telecomms supplier.

Headline: BT have finally lost the plot..!
Perhaps all this expenditure on futuristic toys would explain why BT are more expensive than their competitors in the telecomms marketplace.
I think BT need to go back to basics and worry about telecomms (it is their business I think..) and not digital flowers that wilt when your stocks crash!
I currently use VOIP and CPS and only pay line rental to BT. If their prices were competitive I would probably go back to them.
