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.

As for New Year predictions, well we think the mainstream basic broadband and telephone packages will continue to be subjected to price competition, with entry level broadband packages appearing that start from as little as £4 a month. More and more people will be demanding better performance and opting for the ‘business’ or ‘superfast’ or heavy user broadband deals, with a spotlight being shone brightly onto teh exact meanings of unlimited and uncapped.

As the concept of the family computer and family phone line recede into history, so each household member will be wanting individual broadband services to go with their individual mobil phone number. This will most likely be provided through an improved kind of mobile broadband using new generation dongles, but the landline plus wifi router access point will live on in parallel for a few years yet.  And that’s all going on at the same time as the shift towards widespread use of smartphone internet access as the total number number of laptops in use reaches some kind of plateau.

And that’s as far as I’m prepared to stick my neck out for now, so thanks for reading the Best Broadband Deals blog during 2009 and do stay subscribed for further developments.

Happy New Year.
