Internet connectivity is a bit hit and miss here.
When I first moved in there was no FTTC (Fiber To The Cabinet) availability and old fashioned ADSL was about 1mb which was too slow for work so I used unlimited data sims and a MiFi unit before upgrading to a more capable SIM based router. I checked availability for FTTC everyday (someone moves and disconnects - I jumped to get the now spare connection).
We have had a few local internet companies (no main players) dig up the town laying cable but they stopped at the top of our road because it's unadopted.
One of these local cos have offered me FTTP (Fiber To The Premises) for £30 a month for 900mb.
I have signed up and they have booked installation for two weeks time.
Considering that they don't have permission to dig up our road and won't have permission to use existing telephone poles (the wayleave is to "The Post Office"), I am wondering how they are going to get it to me and I suspect that I will get a call nearer the time to tell me that they cannot connect me or the engineer will turn up and say the same!
So the two options are:
1. FTTP will be installed and will be hassle free.
2. FTTP will not be installed because they forgot that they need to put in the infrastructure.
Place your bets here. :-D
