How much do we depend on the Internet these days?
Last Wednesday morning,the British Telecom junction box down the road was vandalised and set on fire after the perpetrators decided to pinch the copper from the wires.
As a consequence 4,000 homes have been without a phone line for the past 6 days.
I have been away in the Lakes for part of them, so I wasn't hanging from the walls.However it was a reminder of just how dependable we are on the broadband connection for information and communication,and how vunerable we are.
As one of the engineers told me this morning,with the price of copper at such premiums at present,this is going to happen over and over again.
BEWARE
