United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

My connection barely breaks 25Mbps.
Openreach's map says my area is upgraded for FTTP, but my ISP says not.
Openreach may be bigger, but their network is old and shit to large areas of the country. Virgin are far ahead in that regard.
I'm not going to hold my breath too much, because twice we were supposed to have been upgraded to FTTP, and both times BT/OpenReach quietly cancelled it as the government changed how they were going to subsidise it. But I just checked the Project Gigabit website and it looks like they might have a plan for Hampshire!

It's CityFibre too rather than OpenReach so that'll be nice.
