Can't really blame BT. After the first lock down, internet traffic went up ten fold and the network just cannot cope.

A BT Open Reach engineer told me the whole telephone network needs updating with fibre linked to every home and business throughout the UK, problem is, no one wants to pay for it. Still look on the bright side, our internet is still faster than some third world countries. :dodgy2:

Very true, I think they are doubting investment in fibre lines due to satellite internet not being too far away for the greater populace.

Looking at the slate it will not work for Julies if this is the route i am going, looking at getting some paving slabs instead to create height and the right type of cave, is there anything to look out for in using paving slabs in the tank?

I am sure that paving slabs will not be suitable due to them being made of concrete.

Yeah reading pretty much a no go, the PH and hardness not so much with rift lake but the chance of toxins not worth it. Need some slab like rock for it ideally now.
