Unlimited Rural Broadband

[quandam]

Posted for information without comment:

Many rural properties suffer from having an old exchange that hasn't been upgraded to ADSL 2+. In this instance no provider (no matter what they may say) can get faster than 8Mb Down and 500kb up, normally its significantly less. They will normally be subcontracting to BT as the exchange has yet to be unbundled.

This can give an acceptable speed for home use however heavy users and business with servers may require a faster and more consistent speed.

Business users may also require faster upload speeds or a secondary connection that doesn't use the phone network.

We drop the connection in wirelessly to your property. Speeds of 10Mb+ up and down are available uncontended. A small box is placed on the roof or suitably high part of the building and linked to one of our similar units on a towers which has a fibre optic connection to the internet.

Because this method doesn't use the phone you are not tied to BT like every other connection in the bundled exchanges, it also requires no digging up of roads and unlike some older satellite technology suffers no lag.
Please note these are not upto xMb speeds that most ISP's provide they are the actual speeds you will get and the contention ratios are much lower, some other ISPs are as high as 50:1. We block no ports, we don't limit you after you go over a threshold, you can download as much as you like with absolutely no interference from us. In short we give you EXACTLY what we sell you.

We also offer SDSL style connections for business and people who do a lot of uploading. ADSL gives you 500Kb/s we can give you 10Mb/s that's 20 times as fast!
We can also offer speed bursts over night for backups or for special occasions. High site to site rates with a lower internet connection rate may also be available to save on cost. Please get in contact should you have more complex requirements to arrange for a quote.

Exactly Glenn, just what I thought. Certainly a long way from the Cairngorms National Park!!

I'm green/yellow. It is an interesting concept, but doesn't give much away. apart from you don't need planning permission for the 'small' box.
