I don't live in the middle of nowhere and I get the same speeds Mark. They keep pushing full fibre eg FTTP, but there is currently only 26% coverage in the UK. Pathetic. Even with the satellite link when in Geostationary orbit I still only get 80/20. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I actually live in the middle of nowhere in a way. Grand Forks only has a little over 4,000 people. But we had some forward thinking people here a long time ago and they saw Telus Communication was stringing fiber from the coast to Alberta right up highway 3. So our little town has had fiber for a long time now. I used to live 5 kilometres up the mountain and suffered bad internet for most of my life so I can totally understand pour bandwidth.

OutrageProductions Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 This is home on a good day. I have friends in town on a fiber net with 1Gb up & down. Jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 They must be on that next level they tried to sell me that is for businesses. The whole system is crazy as they sell packages that in my case are my land line, TV and the internet all over fiber. We never watch the TV other than the knowledge network channel as we are spoiled with both You Tube premium and Amazon Prime which is dirt cheap and no commercials. We keep the TV because if we cancel it we actually pay more for the internet! We don’t want to cancel the land line because it’s only $15 and it’s a redundant system. The old relatives would freak out. For me using MP3 files is a waste of time now because 48/24 wave files upload in less than a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
