Can't afford broadband?
Not available in your area?
Never fear, as 'boradband' may well be the answer.
Little has been revealed about this yet, though it is thought that it will offer users speeds in excess of broadband speeds, at a low, low price. Possibly £5 per month.
What's truly wonderous about boradband is that it is available anywhere in the UK, as it operates via regular phone lines.
"But how can such high speeds be sent on old technology?" I hear you ask. Well it's a simple and yet remarkable story.
A telephone engineer, Gavin McSpangle, made a remarkable discovery whilst working on a major network incident in Cardiff. A farmer had dug right through important cables, and they needed fixing. When Gavin investigated the scene he found the cables to be glowing bright green. Further investigation found that the farmer was planning to dump nuclear waste on the site, having been paid by local industry to help boost his income. Some of the radioactive goo had gotten into the phone lines.
Undetered by the obvious dangers of the nuclear waste, Gavin knew the job had to come first, and he continued to sort out the cabling mess.
Days later people in the Cardiff area were reporting that their modems were overheating, and burning out when they tried to use the internet. A link was discovered between this and the radioactive accident that occured days earlier, so developers started research immediately.
The entire UK network has been given the nuclear upgrade, and is ready as we speak. All you need to do to be able to use boradband is to rent a modem from BT, at £5 per month, capable of taking these super fast, nuclear data transfers.
I spoke to Gillian Aldercrock from BT about the wonders of boradband:
Me: So, Gillian, what can you tell us about boradband?
GA: Sorry, it was a spelling mistake. It was supposed to say broadband.
Me: So where did the story come from?
GA: OFTEL. They wanted to make us look bad.
Me: So if we have to settle for broadband, when do you hope to roll out to other UK cities?
GA: Er...before the nuclear winter.
Me: Okay then...?
Oh well, it had such promise, and before we knew it, it was taken away from us.
Damn you, world! Damn you!

Only if this was true. :(
Damn you indeed Meka
