At last. Trench being dug bringing fibre optic cable

UPDATE 20.11.2012 - The line's gone dead.  No activity noticed since they dug the trench across our land.  BT are so boring and predictable.  Nothing will happen is the safest prophecy you can make where they are concerned.

We were promised the fibre optic link in July.  It's now November.  This time however we can see turf being dug and something is happening -  belatedly.  We can't let the pressure off just yet, however.  There have been no roadworks and digging up of the 'blocked ducting', as yet.

But was that just an excuse?  And the cable will be on its way for Christmas.

Internet speeds should go up to be fast enough to receive a photographic image of any product in a second, down from three seconds.  We can get on with our SEO website and recruit more online enquiries   Next year should see a continuation of our accelerating sales trend.  October was 30% higher this year than last, which even with an extra day in the month this year, is going some in the current market.  The catalogue and the packages launched in September, and hit the spot.

Assay figures have been trending down at about 15% year on year.  Does that mean we added 50% to our market share in a month?  Three more months will give us our sales trend with more confidence.
