quote: How do they work that out? BT guarantee 512k minimum to 99.9% of homes and there is no theoretical distance limit anymore. It won't be no more expensive than any other service.............. it simply doesn't work like that if he already has a phone line. Doesn't cost a service provider any more money if the distance of the line is longer. If you are 6km or less from the exchange you can get 1/2mb depending on the quality of the cable run whether it's all copper or an alloy. I've got someone in Usk who's bloody far away from the exchange and we've got 512k working at their farm. | |

all well and good, but if hes out in the sticks and has a shocking phone line, is he likely to have decent mobile phone reception? if he has then fair enough :lol: | |

I thought about it but wasn't sure about the updates? Will they not take forever to download on 56k? | |

My Uncle cant get broadband without it being ridiculously expensive because of where he lives in the sticks. So has 56k. |
