There are wireless ISPs around Dumfries & Galloway - e.g. in the Solway Firth area and in South Ayrshire - who are willing to develop/extend wireless networks if they know that they are guaranteed a sufficient number of customers. The usual threshold is 40-50, only about 15% of the 300 that you mention. It may not be a long term solution but it will get you a much better service until Digital Scotland get around to implementing Phase 2 or whatever of their program.

I have no connection with any of them so you will need to contact them yourself if you are interested in pursuing this. Use a Google search for "wireless ISP solway" or similar. Also don't expect prices that compete with large operators. Small wireless ISPs don't have the economies of scale that support the pricing policies of the mass market operators.

thanks for the names, i'll look into it to see if its possible in my area first.

. In fact I don't know why Openreach don't have a solution involving two or more pairs for long lines.

If my location is typical of a rural Market1 exchange, the copper infrastructure has not been looked after, there are few or zero spare pairs left to use for bonding to start with!

Well yes that's a very valid point!
