Virgin spent months cabling the whole district around here, did a pretty decent job of making good the pavements. It must have been an investment of £millions, and I don't think many residents actually changed to Virgin.

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

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! |

I've never owned a French car, a wise man said" never buy a French motor"
I once owned a Skoda 120 rapide, blew it up in a week,, and sold it to a Guy to use the shell for a rally car, for twice what I paid for it,,, I think the fact it had no sunroof, is what made it a good price |

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. |
