Percy P Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 wgdanson. Its not a case of how can they afford it .it a case of having a wi fi signal where you are. NBTC is a public run company paid for by you and me and the rest of the tax payers and should come free of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
