why only have one low quality porno streaming at once when you can have full 4k on 4 screens?

£31, jeez. That works out to about CAD$65, which is what I pay, and I'm getting... 15/10 (ok it's unlimited bandwidth, but still). The highest speeds I can seemingly get where I am located are 50/10, for around $75, so about £36.

If I lived closer to the actual mast and owned the land I could cable connect up to 1000mbs But the cost is unreal and too far away, so will never happen

What I have works for me its designed as a symmetrical system with the lowest Pings for the technology it uses.

Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) is the most future proofed technology available due to the ability to increase speeds simply by upgrading equipment at either end of the fibre optic cable, where possible we look to connect customers via this method. Customers receive 100Mbps or 1,000Mbps via this method (capped to 10Mbps if on the Lite package).

Currently, due to high deployment costs, which often include significant civil engineering work, we only offer this service to premises near where we have laid fibre optic cable to connect one of our wireless masts. We do however look to deploy this service to areas where we have a high number of existing wireless customers or communities who can demonstrate significant demand for our products, to connect customers using this method from day one.

In France, I can get satellite internet, from a company called TooWay, but haven't really investigated, and, given how unreliable my TV satellite decoder boxes have been, I've stuck with Orange/France Telecom. They own the ADSL line, so are quick to respond if there's a fault.

They actually REDUCED my monthly bill by 10% last year for being a loyal customer...meanwhile, Robdog Virgin increased it again here, despite me having been with them 13 years.
