I’m blocking ads on iOS with Safari. Granted it’s not baked in to the browser but I have AdGuard installed and that does a good job of suppressing YouTube ads.

I also connect back to my server at home via VPN no matter where I am and run PiHole for DNS resolution on that

    National Grid is a private company

    They are funded via OFGEM, and infrastructure building doesn’t happen overnight.

    I don’t think Octopus are a DNO so don’t have any infrastructure. Aren’t they merely a reseller of electricity?

    There are a number of projects to add additional HVDC links for power sharing and also a couple of battery storage stations.

    The issue with National Grid is that it is subject to funding cycles, currently 5 years and the next one starting April 2026, so have to present justification for government money to improve the grid. They can present white papers during the funding cycle for re openers and sometimes money is spent at risk.

    There is a £60bn investment going in to the grid over the next 5 years.

    The flow of electricity is now controlled by NESO who are now a government entity, and currently in a separation period from National Grid.
