It was a company called Jurassic Fibre (no me neither) that installed ours, and I've only seen one house on our road get connected so far.

I don't think that they could have put the connection point in the pavement by my house in a worse place if they tried.  Same with the neighbours as well.  ::)

My Renault 5 did 60 in second, and had a fabulous tilt when going round a corner or roundabout at speed!  :D

I thought the Paddy's had been digging all the cables in around Your neck of the woods me Lud, kept getting delayed by trench digging along the road.

Our road and pavements were dug up last year for fibre. Romanians I think, maybe Albanians.  :-\

Proper shoddy job as well. They didn't seal the edges of the trench backfill so if we get a proper cold hard icy winter it'll soon start breaking up.  ::)

Thank God for climate change!  ;D

That's a similar price to high speed fibre I think?  If you have fibre that is...  ::)
My 500Mb synchronous has just gone up...   ...to £22 ;D

Admittedly that is a special deal, but my previous 900Mb synchronous was only £50 on a rolling month basis.

Decent fibre from altnets is significantly cheaper than services like ADSL when that first came out.  But not many have access to altnets, although more small villages have a better chance :y

Yeah OK I'm a bit behind the times with broadband speeds and prices.  ::)

The cost has come down massively in the last couple of years.  :y

I've seen them advertise deals with refurbished kit, so keep your eye out.  :y


It looks like the cost is currently £225 ( £450 before) for the dish, and then £85 a month. Not cheap.

Elon is worth £280 billion so he could afford to make it less expensive.

What sort of speeds do you get for that?  ???

High speed fibre is well cheaper than £85. But, if you live on a rambling country estate, Openreach aren't about to use a whole drum of cable to get to you.

Ah yes I forgot about Opti Towers!  ;D

There are certain insurance companies that are refusing to insure anyone over 70 now. Or quoting such a ridiculously high price that they know won't be accepted.

Glad you're old?  ;D

Less than three hundred quid a year/10,000 miles sounds OK to me.  :y

Pressure washing the paths and patio is a quite satisfying job.  :y

But then you get the water bill!  :o  Which is why I only do it every other year.  ::)  ;D
