The message is clear, don’t wait around for fibre broadband to come to you if you have the possibility of putting it in yourself. All you need is one good wifi reception area and then you can carry out across the land to other local consumer points. But that’s the rub, how do you get the high speed broadband into the hub in the first place in order to share it out across your local network?

Another solution for people who live in rural areas and are complaining about the broadband would be to move to the city! You have the nice countryside, peace and quiet, unpolluted air and a higher quality of life and now you want all the advantages of better communications which are some small compensation for city dwellers as well. Have your pie chart and also eat it, as we say here in Rotterdam.

Well being that I am not from the UK (dreaming of moving there) I have had to do some research..

I found: broadband.co.uk which lets you search for broadband deals in your area, broadbandchoices.co.uk also does the same, and broadbandgenie.co.uk/broadband_deals.html that also does some searching for you. They all seem like you could get some useful info from these sites.

In this guide we’ll show you the key features

lets begin by checking the broadband availability for a postcode

You start by entering your postcode in the form at the top of the site
homepage

Then click find a deal to carry out the search

The site will then check all the broadband deals in its database and
find the ones available in your area

You can change the results to order by price, speed or provider

The results are then listed in the order you selected

to find out more about a provider click “info”

You will then be given all the providers details

At the bottom of the page will be all the different deals the provider
offers

click “get deal” to visit the provider to find out more information and
sign up!

If you already have broadband then you’ll want to use our speed tester
to check how fast your connection really is

If you enter your postcode we can also check how fast the broadband
connection could be at your present address at the same time

simply click the button to start the test

The download speed is how fast the connection can download data

The upload speed is how fast data can be sent from your computer

it’s normal for the download speed to be much faster than the upload
speed

Scrolling down we can see the results of our test

and we can see that here we are only 3% slower than the maximum that we
should get on this line, so that’s pretty good.

If we go a bit further down we can see the fastest deals available in
this area should you want to look at switching providers

The broadband forums are a great place to come and ask broadband related
questions and to discuss the pros and cons of different suppliers

You don’t have to register to post in the general forums and they can be
a great place to get advice on all sorts of broadband topics

We know that broadband can be a bit of a minefield so if you’ve got a
question that you just can’t find an answer to or there is something
that is mystifying you then you should contact our broadband expert who will answer all your questions
personally.

Well thanks for watching the video, we hope it will help you get the
most out of the site.
