Letters / Poor signal

The only people benefiting from the fibre optic cable will be the council, as householders can only hope to pay up front, with a select few in their area who can feed off the cable.

My son at Quarff applied and heard nothing else.

Also, what happened about getting a better mobile phone signal from the long awaited mast repair at Bressay, which was denied by O2 last year and yet a few months later a problem was made public. The signal even now is still hopeless.

People on this island are not believed and denied good customer service for the same cost as everyone else.

A friend who arrived in Shetland last year could not believe how slow the internet was that nobody had done anything about it.

Telecom need to tell the public what we all get if they have the contract and not just give the council priority use.
