I recently bought a house in which has never seen so much as a silicon chip. The location is some distance from the BT exchange and I have been looking at satellite services as the best speed predicted is 1.5Mb over rural copper which in practice, could have been a lot lower. I was pleasantly surprised to get 1.2Mb.
Minor miracles can be achieved by ripping out domestic phone wiring so an hour's work later and a visit from the friendly local BT engineer who moved the primary socket and fitted their latest gubbins with built in filters, I fired up the router in the new location.
3.8Mb !!!!!!!
