We too live in the countryside but Spain. No chance of copper or fibre ever..
Our choice is 4G or 5G ( when available) The 5G will have roughly the same footprint as 4G . At max 20 meg 4 G works for TV streaming until “ rush hour” . Schools in/ out, work finishes, adverts on popular programmes etc etc. Up is 700k so useless for video conferencing.
Spain has a programme to enable everyone to get fast internet. We get HispaSat internet. 100 meg down and 7 meg up for 35 euros a month - Free install. It works great for tv streaming but has a big ping so no good for interactive internet gaming. We are currently waiting for technician to visit to give us a free speed upgrade.
Our install is a 90 cm dish facing South East , cable to a good quality router
Similar technolgy to Starlink. Starlink have offers . Look out for one……..

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 No need to rub it in, you bastard. |

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.I've seen them advertise deals with refurbished kit, so keep your eye out. Yep....they always pick on the most innocent. |

Plenum to intake is 8Nm IIRC Which is what you'd expect for an M6 fastener. I would consider using a torque wrench on the bolts into the plastic manifold, but don't see the need for any of the others. |
