QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Jun 11 2017, 09:58 AM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) So, let's get this right, you've got an empty building, full of cables, made out of copper, in Newbury. Hmm, fink I see a major business opportunity here. Not empty no, but much of it is. Fibre cables also. All would need to be diverted, without a break in service, to a new site. It all comes in through some big manholes in Bear Lane (and also through the aerials on the roof!). Oh and all the exchange, transmission, ADSL and cellular network equipment needs powering!

Is the **** ********* still in the basement, or is that still classified information?
