Solutions for rural broadband access
Hey everyone, my house is far away, so the internet speed is limited to 12Mbps. Three connections are set up for remote work, which means I’m exploring alternatives to a fixed line. Any ideas from the UK side?
The only alternative idea I have is installing a mobile broadband router paired with a SIM card for internet access, provided there’s good 4G coverage nearby. This might offer some improvement.
Wisp typically relies on non-cellular wireless connections, which are significantly faster than cellular networks and offer larger data capacities. For a more reliable setup, consider investing in a dedicated wireless point-to-point link or connecting to another ISP. You might also explore obtaining multiple lines from your ISP and combining them.
I should note this was a consideration; I need to take a closer look now. I'm thinking about a dedicated line but don't know the distance to the nearest PCP. It seems BT has recently begun offering Second Line, which could be useful. Thanks for checking!
No Virgin service available, DSL performance drops significantly over long distances, and a secondary connection might help balance the workload.
