Bow down & marvel at my fabulous speed

And before anyone asks thats fttc - fttp is not available out here in the sticks, although it is 5 miles away in Jedburgh or Kelso Our piddling little exchange will no doubt be one of the last ones in the area to be done

No Fixed Wireless Access schemes?

No Fixed Wireless Access schemes?

Nope. nothing like that round here. I believe one of the neighbours uses a 4G dongle but they are elderly & are likely to be light users.

The village has got less than 100 people in it - our electoral roll is around 80 according to the polling place tellers last time I asked so fixed wireless is very low priority for the providers. There are a few schemes further out round here but they are only found up the very remote valleys in the foothills of the Cheviots where you would never get broadband over the copper wires

A friend of mine is in a similar situation as you are in Devonshire sticks - ADSL is max 4mpbs and weak 4G signal. He splashed out on Starlink, which, he says, is decent and I think he gets up to 100mbps on it?

The very idea of old folk fiddling with a dongle brings tears to the eyes
