Current plans are that BT will cover around 60 to 70% of the UK homes iwth a fibre option.

Beyond that it will be down to government funds

FTTC no time soon, you might see some sort of 3g/4g network or other wirelss system deployed

as for satellite can't see sky ever doing it wrong type of satellite, that not saying he owns other providers but satelite is rather poor service as pings are very very high. My ping 25 to 40, my mate in Cornwall over 1000.

To see what service is in your area check out http://www.samknows.com/broadband/broadband_checker just enter you postcode and or phone number shows you all your options

you do see cabinets in the middle of nowhere for example on the A52. I imagine it's a logical place for the end of a drum of cable and a taping off point for 2 or 3 villages, but there isn't a house to be seen.

I've just been driving Google street maps around cab hunting in my vicinity.

Hi,
There is only service from BT Wholesale and the exchange only got upgraded to ADSL Max in 2006, remember in an earlier post I said there was only around 350 premises connected to the exchange so not not likely to be any LLU providers putting their gear in there or even ever laugh

I managed to find mine while trefor.net still had the map available. It turned out to be the one I thought it was (approx 108 Metres away).

if you can get 3mb on a fixed landline then dongle will stuggle. The maxium dongle with is 3.6 unless you mast been upgraded to support the higher rate 7.2. You hardware would also have to support it.

Check out and see if there any wireless operators around, the use something similar to wifi and from what i seen is rather good with regards to speed
