Current alternatives won’t light up Britain’s broadband blackspots

Despite the British government’s boasts of the steady roll-out of superfast broadband to more than four out of five homes and businesses, you needn’t be a statistician to realise that this means one out of five are still unconnected. In fact, the recent story about a farmer who was so incensed by his slow broadband that he built his own 4G mast in a field to replace it shows that for much of the country, little has improved.

When you make a demand like fibre or nothing generally you end up with nothing. Fixed wireless is surely going to make far more sense in a rural setting both in terms of installation cost and rollout time.
