Anyone out in the sticks got new BT fibre yet?
If you didnt know they are putting fibre to every pole in the country and even fibre overhead into your house.
My mate who still works for BT is going around fixing all the faults on overtime as they have just hired contractors to drag the new cables in through the old ducts and and causing carnage.
Hes moaning that EU laws limit his overtime.
So I said when we leave you'll be sorted, no they have told everyone they will abide by EU law even if we leave.
Which is entirely sensible because they are sensible laws.
350mb so far at most houses.
Expect that to dive.
Bullcrap - in EU countries you can work as much overtime as you like as long as over a period of time hours do not exceed the maximum (companies work around this in various ways in both NL you take comp time when it is quiet to reduce hours to the correct level). To be honest it makes sense because if one is constantly working overtime and all processes are efficient you need to increase your headcount which reduces unemployment....
when I was in the UK the excuse you were using was given to employees because organisations did not want to exceed budgets and lose year end bonus.
