Quite apart from this being my first post in about a thousand years, my favourite source of frustration - the internet speed here - is going to be souped up to beyond the UK average! Amazing!
As I have mentioned so many times, my internet is below 1mb/s which is pretty poor. Living in the sticks means that the upgrading of my line is not economically viable apparently.
Well, it seems that if the 30 odd households who live on the lane all set up a community group and ask nicely - with a little effort collecting agreements in principle and some work to get funding sorted - then BT may decide to install something better.
Yes, they are installing fibre! And not just fibre to the cabinet, but fibre to the premises - yes, fibre through the wall into my home! So we are in theory going to be in the top few percent of the country!
I guess that sort of speed will cost mega-money, but nice to have the option! Even if I can get the "up to 20meg" speed I pay for now, I will be happy!
Lets see what happens. It should all be in place before this time next year apparently!
