I live and work in a village OWG,
Too sparsely populated, BT said not to even dream of Broadband, we are several thousands short of the minimum required to trigger our local exchange upgrade. I am confined to 64k BT Home Highway, I wish I still live in London or at least a town with Broadband.
Anyway when you Satellite broadband start, I will be one of your first customers provided I do not have to erect an ugly satellite dish on my roof
