    Default UK girls broad band remote location

    We're thinking about moving house in a few months, into the countryside , a big house I've wanted for a long time. (In the North West) However the internet there is dreadful, really slow. Cable don't cover the area either ... I'm wondering if any UK girls know much about alternatives , eg MIFI ( I've read somewhere you can get a decent upload with that but would prefer it to be confirmed ) ...Satellite? ( I'm assuming the upload would be shite)

    Cost within reason isn't really an issue , because the alternative means renting a second flat to work from in an area with better broadband and returning to the rural house after work - which is a last resort , but I'd like to avoid such an eccentric work life if possible...

    Advice appreciated .

    One of my regulars sent me this, which I still haven't checked out fully but wil do now. You will need a contract with a high allowance, and avoid ones which have a high price if you go over it. With PAYG it will stop when you reach the cap, with a contract it will start to rack up charges. http://www.uk-mobile-broadband-deals...FdEhtAodUDasSw http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/mobile-broadband/ http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/mobi...ner/pcadvisor/ http://mobilebroadbanddeals.co.uk

    We are rural and use AOL for BB and landline phone. Broadbands good, doesn't seem to be any problems with camming and uploading, however it can't seem to cope with splitcamming or if bf wants to watch football on live stream on his computer and I am camming on mine very well, which is a bit of a bummer but I can live with that. We pay around £15 per month as long as we don't go over usage on the telephone. Free UK calls to landlines but charges go up if we call mobiles and some 0800 no's, maybe worth looking at if you haven't already. I think it wil also depends how far out you are from the exchange. Because we are a small village it will prob be years before we get fibre optics ! Hope this helps

    Blimey...the TMobile Unlimted looked worth it until I saw there's a fair uuage limit of 1Gb a month. I'll check my usage to see how it compares. I won't need to use mobile all the time. I'm not rural but I like to do rural shows! Need some kind of portable battery pack, too... If it's all too lsow though, it won't be any use.

    Internet from the UK is in the stoneage, i download over 100gbs a month in the netherlands. >.<

    And if your splitcamming you need double the upload speed your using when streaming on one site.

    I live near fiber optic but not quite close enough. Toying with the idea of changing to Virgin but scared it'll be worse than BT. Grr. My internet is fine for what I do, but I'd love to splitcam and stuff.

    I think you UK girls will be happy to read this:

    Virgin Media will double the speed of its broadband service for more than four million of its customers, the company has said.

    The upgrade, which begins in February, will also see the service's top speed increase from 100Mbps to 120Mbps.

    OP, are you sure there are no decent ISP's in that area?

    The providers all have these long term goals, which won't reach rural areas for years and years!
