Broadband dilemma
 

On the other side of the coin, in the Notts/Derbys/Leics triangle we get 37.50 upload and 1.81 download with BT Infinity and Fibre Optic (BT Homehub 3) - wished I'd had it years ago.....(did try to post the Speedtest screen shot but failed miserably !)

It would be great to have the option of Infinity . There is no chance of it in our village for a few years

"37.50 upload and 1.81 download"?????:)

Satellite might be a possibility I guess, particularly if you're not a very heavy internet user and download speeds matter more to you than upload.

Not ideal I know.... but whilst you're waiting for other stuff to eventually arrive in the village it might be a good stop-gap.

We live in the old part of a small village. I've been on BT Broadband for about six months after Sky became totally unworkable. I usually get 38 Meg download, 9 or 10 Meg upload.

What's strange is that there is a new (and highly controversial, 200 house) housing estate immediately adjacent, which has all but doubled the size of the village. BT have recently said there is insufficient customer base for them to install the new Infinity service. So they're still on 1-2 Meg maximum with no prospect of an upgrade anytime soon. Boy, are they cross about it! ;)

Sorry BOAC, what's with the ?????'s - Oh I see, I forgot to add the MBps

I can't bear this :rolleyes:

Clue: download speeds are usually much greater than upload...

Harsh but fair.........:)

Thanks all, not sure I'm any clearer on the right thing to do, will let one of the neighbours take the plunge and see what happens !

Feedback after suitable time interval...
 

Now had Virgin cable broadband in for nearly 6 months and got to say its absolutely brilliant compared to our old TalkTalk service over BT wire. 60MB download even at peak times and no service interruptions to date. Highly recommended and decision vindicated :) TV box not quite as user friendly as Sky tho'
