It amazes me that we can do this from space, but I can't do this from my house. /s

- Dylan16807 4y agoWhat's your budget?
- nix23 4y ago300 dollars if you life in switzerland is enough 30 for 10.
- latchkey 4y agoThat got me thinking about trying to find the mission budget for TBIRD and I came up empty handed after a bunch of googling...
- wdb 4y agoHappy to pay upto £5.000,00 for setup/digging and then upto £60/month for 1Gbps in Central London. G.Network, Pure Fibre, BT (not a business address), Hyperoptic all don't want to bite while some have fibre in a street short distance away (~100 meters) from my house
- fennecfoxy 4y agoIt's tough in the UK, especially London, especially especially central London. I moved from NZ where we'd done probably one of the best fiber rollouts of any country; I had 1Gbps into an apartment from about 2016 or so. Before that I'd had 200ish mbps into a house in the suburbs in about 2014 thanks to the previous tenants having run a business from the place and paid for a line in. Now I live in the UK I can see why it's hard - too much history/housing here is just built up far too much/not built up in a modern way either. Also I think when obtaining permissions from property owners in the case of flats, Kiwis are generally more likely to approve of something like that than people here.
- wdb 4y agoYeah, the Mews street I live in we are all property owners. Only in the middle bit is city council property
- toast0 4y agoLine of sight is easier to arrange upwards.
- foreverobama 4y agoExactly. Which is why I'm always less than enthused by articles such as this. With the telecommunications industry, it seems breakthroughs such as this never make their way to the average or even slightly high-end user such as myself. Wake me when telecommunications industry gets their shit together.
- poly_morphis 4y agoNearby to me is the Microsoft HQ campus. Few miles away is Amazon, not to mention most every other major software company. Even SpaceX has an office here. My home has one available ISP, and that's Comcast. I pay monthly for 100/30 what other homes pay for 1000 up & down. The home 50ft behind mine has fiber. It's insane to me.
- poslathian 4y agoMaybe you can get a better deal from the neighbor than from Comcast.
