FTTC uses fibre to the cabinet (as the name suggests), but then copper from the cabinet to your home. Thus it suffers from similar inadequacies as ADSL.
To call it "fibre Internet" is a misnomer.
I would call "fibre internet" FTTP.

Australia removed its licence fee many years ago, so that the ABC (the Australian version of the BBC) is funded directly from government. This has the disadvantage that the ABC is beholden to government for funding, and they have to go, cap in hand, to government every now and then.
Is this feasible for the BBC?

For a potential preview of what can happen to the BBC look at what the Abbott government has done to the ABC in Australia.
Be afraid, be very afraid.

I have a Humax HDR Fox T2. It has a CI+ slot. I've been told by TUTV that they broadcast from the Wenvoe transmitter. On the TUTV website they advertise that they sell a CAM adapter and a smartcard, for Sky Sports 1 & 2 and ESPN, for a TV. Would these work in the Humax?
