Curious - which town are you in? I have 4g and 200mbs-1 fttp and I live in a field in the middle of suffolk.
- jasonkester 11y agoThe North. Kendal, specifically. One day Virgin will route a cable our way, and life will be good. Until then we're stuck with BT and their 200 year old copper (and a few cell towers without enough power to drill through the stone buildings in town, let alone the little hills around it).
- buro9 11y agoMaybe Kendal should come together and investigate building your own http://b4rn.org.uk/ http://b4rn.org.uk/ Actually you're right on the edge of the coverage area, why not contact them and see what it would take to extend it.
- jamesbrownuhh 11y agoNo 3G, as you say, but Ofcom's mobile coverage checker shows Kendal bathed in 4G EE coverage, with a good chance of good indoor reception. (And if not, a 4G router with decent outdoor antenna should help enormously.) Or there's always satellite...?
- nextos 11y agoEven in some parts of Cambridge 3/4G leaves a lot to be desired. EE has sometimes downtimes that can be measured in days. Its very disappointing. Its also absurd companies offering "unlimited" mobile traffic do deep packet inspection. Whenever I try to SSH to any of my servers I get banned immediately, despite having a ridiculously low data rate.
- ccozan 11y agoI never heard about been banned ( what does it mean, get punished for 10 mins with no network ?? ) for using SSH. Maybe is something else? Indeed, ToS requests that you don't use the data connection for something like VoIP or other type of communication, in practice they don't care. I have in Germany's Vodafone 3GBs that I can spend over LTE, and boy, they are spent religiosly until the last KB. Half free communications to outside Germany, half is streaming music/videos.
- nextos 11y agoUK telecoms are a bit peculiar. E.g., Giffgaff bans users for 30 mins (first warning). This is pretty well known. They try to avoid tethering through SSH tunnels.
- the_mitsuhiko 11y agoThere are people in London who are living in an edge only area and the closest they get to fiber is docsis over a few hundred meters.
