Hmm ... my son says we soon won't have cable tv/phones or whatnots ... it'll all be via our mobile phones ... he's tried to explain it to me ........ 🤯
He says it'll start changing within the next couple of years ... if I understand him correctly it'll be so much cheaper because there won't be all the underground cabling to maintain and eventually the companies won't bother with it. I've no idea about the timescale tho' .....

will there be infrastructure in place by then to guarantee 100% signal coverage for the whole country?
OH doesn't have a mobile signal where he lives in Norfolk. My French phone picks up the nearest signal in the UK wherever I am. It didn't have a signal at the old house but it does at the new house.
I've just been to the Remembrance Service at the village war memorial. Chatted to neighbours afterwards, which was nice. We haven't met many people here yet thanks to Covid.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

I imagine so ... I expect one system will be phased out as the other is phased in ...
If you listen to radio / TV "phone ins" you constantly hear cracks in the line and total drop outs . These all sound to me like they're on "mobiles" We've all just used to it but it's much worse than "landlines". My sister gets free calls on her mobile but pays for landline. If she calls me on her mobile, the signal is often so bad, I call her back on her landline.

I'd better read it so I can understand what on earth my son is telling me ...
