Wireless Internet - pros and cons
My local Council have written to me saying that because of my remote location my sub 2mb/sec broadband service will almost certainly never be upgraded to Superfast Broadband - I'm on an Exchange Only line some 5k+ from the exchange. They advise I am eligible for a subsidised satellite installation or a £350 maximum voucher towards the installation cost of an alternative technology service. 4G mobile broadband is not an option as we don't have 4G coverage here.
Poor latency seems to be an ongoing problem with satellite broadband. An established wireless internet provider is going live in my area within the next week or so and a repeater station will be 1.4km away with a perfect line of sight. Of their three packages the one I am looking at is their middle one with 15mb/sec download, 10mb/sec upload and 100GB/month quota, priced at £49 per month.
So, pros and cons, guys - anyone with experience of wireless internet? Do you actually get the speeds offered?
