An old mutt with mange or the Uk’s telco regulator

It’s been a long (since rock ‘n’ roll …) erm, sorry, since the Fighting BT Wholesale Blog was updated, but the anon person from a UK ISP is back and sharing his love for our Regulator…

“Ofcom is of course the telecoms watchdog. However as far as watchdogs go, Ofcom are the toothless old mutt with mange that can barely stand up under their own power. The complaints my company makes to Ofcom with regards to BT Wholesale’s behavior are done so weekly. But unless you can produce actual hard evidence, they are not interested. Ofcom do not want to hear about long-term observations and conjecture about BT Wholesale’s internal workings. If you cannot show Ofcom a definitive “BT Wholesale told us to go fuck ourselves” memo signed by someone in BT Wholesale… they will not listen. Because of BT Wholesale’s lack of openness, and ability to ensure you cannot provide any evidence (as all evidence ultimately is provided by BT Wholesale’s ordering/fault systems), most Ofcom meetings in my experience end up as a he-said she-said argument.”
