I lived on Dartmoor last year. I can testify that the broadband rollout stopped. We managed to get 5mb which wasn't so bad, the real problem was the connection would drop 2/3 times an hour. Fine for casual use but terrible for remote work.
The house we stayed in is now in the starlink queue.
- multjoy 4y agoWe're stuck on 18/1mbs up in the rural north (and that's with AAISP, so we're getting the most the line can provide), B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North - which would have been 1gbs fibre) has stalled because of Politics. I've just stuck an external antenna up and we're getting a decent 4G signal from EE so that will have to do for the time being. It's peaking at 50mbs with a bit higher latency, but the upload is 25x faster than the landline which does make for far more responsive usage. Annoyingly, there's a full Fibrus fibre rollout about 10 miles south, but apparently there's no money in running a line up the main trunk road between the two major population centres for this area.
- aidos 4y agoAAISP will also do line bonding, but you’ll obviously be paying more and I’d imagine it’s not going to be that much better. I switched over to their FTTP offering recently and, while it’s not super fast compared to what others are claiming, having a router with a weird intermittent hardware issue reminded me of how good it is to be able to immediately jump on a call with technical people who actually care.
